<p>I believe this has more to do with shoddy record keeping than
anything. Most voip carriers will port their own numbers around
multiple times (using scale as leverage to get better deals
playing carriers off each other). When they do that its not
uncommon for them to use the same info (like their office address)
versus the actual customer info, or their address parser code to
translate between carrier A's system and carrier B's system
mangles something, or there has been some M&A activity and the
merged databases have bad info. <br>
</p>
<p>In the end the new recorded address is not predictable by the
customer and is easily and frequently rejected. <br>
</p>
<p>I am moving through a project right now to move numbers between
carriers and have found my losing carrier has done exactly this. <br>
</p>
<p>With the state of record keeping and lack of appreciable
standards I'm shocked that the LNP system works at all. <br>

<div dir="ltr">Hello,
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I am hoping that someone may be able to shed some light as
to the difficulties mobile carriers have to port DIDs away
from major VoIP carriers such as Bandwidth and Onvoy.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>The problem does not seem to be on the VoIP providers. In
most of the cases, they do not even receive an LSR. The mobile
carriers seem to be asking for a CSR multiple times but never
submit an LSR, then they tell the EU that the port request has
failed.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>In another case, when the DID is with Bandwidth, the ATT
system tells the customer that the number is with LOCKED with
Google Voice and cannot be ported. I wonder who builds these
faulty systems for these corporations?</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Any advice is appreciated.</div>
