Is this something the community would be willing to pay for?

<div>I'd be willing to do more investigation into building a service like this if there's value here. Would you be willing to pay say $1 to test a DID on say 20 carriers?<br>

<blockquote type="cite">As a VoIP provider of numbers, we occasionally get complaints that a number<br>
isn't working, or isn't working for specific callers. The trouble I'm<br>
having is figuring out how to automate a test for this.<br>
<br>
I've got an automated test now that makes a test call from a number known<br>
to always ring busy. When my switch sees that CallerID, it plays a busy<br>
signal and records the call in our database so I can have a record of a<br>
successful test. When the number really is broken, that test consistently<br>
fails and I have good data with which I can bug the carrier.<br>
<br>
Most VoIP termination providers use Verizon or L3 or another major<br>
provider. Often my DIDs are from them, so the calls always succeed within<br>
the network. Often Verizon and L3 are both working when the customer<br>
complains.<br>
<br>
The issue is that sometimes its a cell carrier like Sprint that doesn't<br>
route the number correctly, or even Comcast Business, though a Comcast home<br>
phone successfully called the DID.<br>
<br>
Is there any company out there that provides an API that allows me to<br>
submit a request for a test of a number and will try that DID on a bunch of<br>
carriers and report back? I suppose if you aren't the endpoint for that<br>
DID, might be hard to automate, but I have ideas.<br>
