[VoiceOps] Neustar SOA Archives

[Mike Hammett]

How many of you are still using Neustar SOA? Any better ways of getting this information? 


After some personnel changes, we're cleaning up our systems. Things haven't been maintained properly over the years. 


We're going through disabled (but not ported away or deleted) numbers in Metaswitch to see what their fate should be. 
I ran an SV search for all ported out numbers, exported to Excel, and then had my staff compare that to what we had configured in Metaswitch, along with seeking their recommendation as to whether we set it to ported out, keep it as-is, or delete the entry entirely. That recommendation would be with our guidance as to when to do what. 
I spot checked their recommendations and found some messes. One of which is that the SOA export just managed to skip one line from 2018, so that was fun. Another is that a number that a former customer had doesn't show up on that list for ported out, but does show up on the ported in list. When I do an SV Query, it shows up as someone else. How can that be congruent? 


Is there a way to get more that current and 1st prior? 
Is the SV search supposed to include everyone that ported away from us, or just those that had us as their first prior carrier? 


I'd like to not have them issue an SV query for each potentially ported away number.
