[VoiceOps] Post-Port Activation Delay

[Mike Hammett]

I would like to preface this email by saying that I know that iconnectiv is managing ports now, but we just have the old Neustar portal working as the front end because I haven't had time to learn how all this stuff works so that I can properly train our employees on how to use the new portal.


Undo business. Our people that manage the porting currently go into the neustar portal and activate a port. At that time, some carriers immediately start using bus. However, some carriers will still send traffic to the losing provider for some amount of time after that. Sometimes that is okay, sometimes it is not. I assume that there is not a darn thing that I can do about how quickly someone else decides to look up the number to see that it has been ported.

However, can someone explain to me how common this is and what providers arnone for being sloppy? For example, last night we did a port at 9 pm. A test call that we did to a forwarding number that would have bounced through AT&T ILEC went through fine every time. Calls that would have gone through a variety of cell providers was extremely Hit or Miss, Even from the same operator.


I apologize for any misused words. I was using voice to text and editing that on my phone can be difficult.
