[asterisk-biz] Best/Cheapest DID Provider with 10 or more channels?

[Yaro Donchenko]

The biggest problem in today world with porting numbers is when the CSR 
records does not match.
Example: Company ABC bough a DID's from VOIP Provider ABC. VoIP provider 
ABC has an account with L3. In L3 CSR records of VoIP Provider ABC not 
an end costumer, and when end costumer trying to port it out he get 
stocked and have to go over a lot of paperworks...

So when you buy a DID from some type a small ITSP who is reselling it 
from CLEC and does not maintain CSR records you could face a problems 
when you try to leave... Another thing company broadvoice stated in they 
TOS that users does not own the numbers and they just leasing them from 
broadvoice, also I'v seen same problem with j2fax, you can't port the 
numbers from them also. So before you buy from any one read TOS and make 
sure that you not renting a numbers.
