[VoiceOps] Verizon says they have "no relationship" to port from thinQ/Commio

[Mike Hammett]

We actually are a small provider and when I went to find out how to do this, I was told to sign into the NPAC helpdesk, bulletin boards, contacts, then search by region, SPID, etc. Then ask how to establish said relationship. I've heard it referred to various ways, trading partner, carrier partner, porting partner, etc. 


Obviously, Verizon should know that, but maybe all they need is to be shown that you're not a slouch, and that you're not giving up. 


Is ThinQ their own LEC or are they just a fancy API on top of Level 3, Bandwidth, Peerless, etc.?

A customer is porting a number to VZW, and they can't figure it out. They called me to ask if I had "more info" to help them port out from Commio. My return call went to VM, so I don't have more info, but thought I'd ask here on the list. Any ideas on how this can be, or what to recommend? 


I know Verizon is a small carrier, and may not be wise to the ways of telecom.
