[VoiceOps] what is a fair port out fee?

[Richard Breton]

I can see port in fees but port out fees?

I cant pass along a 10 dollar port out fee to my customers and I sure can't
eat it.

for me to move 500 numbers to another provider would cost me 5k and I would
just have to hope that the winning carrier would want the business enough
to pay some of that
