    Seconded.  If you are not a customer, most of the "big guys" won't
    even acknowledge your existence.  I've *occasionally* made some
    headway with reaching out to their porting contacts and very nicely
    asking them to pass the info to the translations team, but that's a
    very uncommon occurrence.<br>
    <br>
    Getting the calling party to open a completion issue ticket is the
    way forward.  Good luck, and godspeed... you're going to need it!<br>
