[VoiceOps] FW: Strange porting issue

[Darren Schreiber]

Our upstream CLEC ended up using the contacts here provided (thanks guys!) to hunt the carrier down apparently. First, the carrier de-activated the number but then everyone got a busy signal who called (only from within that ILEC of course). Then the LRN was reprovisioned apparently, and all worked.

Sigh

That was fun
