It sounds like what Tim is reporting is not the inability to *place* LD
calls from that TN, but the inability for those outside the LATA to
complete calls to it.

If this is the case, I have not run into such a situation before.  I'm
based in the Southern California area.

When you ported the number, wass there an option to disable that special
service code or is it universal to the block regardless of LRN?

And, did the customer have the same issue before the port?
