I did briefly glance at Sinch's page before posting, but it just struck me as a Twilio clone, and I simply assumed they were using IQ numbers.
I don't have a subscription to LERG, and it's not clear to me how often publicly-available resources (e.g., telcodata.us) are updated. But in most places, the IQ OCNs still seem to be listed as "ONVOY, LLC", and from looking at the IQ web site which is still a separate thing, it appears Sinch is looking to preserve the IQ branding for that set of products. So absent some change in marketing strategy or yet another set of acquisitions, I'm guessing that the OCN name is unlikely to change in the foreseeable future...

Inteliquent was just got bought out by Sinch so they are one and the same. Inteliquent also bought out several companies like Onvoy several years back so it has multiple company names riding its network. It's my understanding that Sinch (fka Inteliquent) also sells DID services through several different affiliate companies. So you can't always go by the name associated with the OCN. A better way to tell which NXXs are part of each carrier's network is to pay attention to the AOCN number associated with each of the NXXs in the LERG.
