[asterisk-biz] toll free

[Al Bochter]

You can only port a toll free that you own.
Just because you use the toll free does not mean you own the toll free!

I can only port from top level providers and I have not found any VoIP 
Providers that own the TF that they are selling to the users.
So I would think that you can not port the TF to a new provider if you 
don't like the rates.

The TF we have are from the main provider but I have had TF before Asterisk.

Best regards,
