The biggest problem in today world with porting numbers is when the CSR
records does not match. <br>
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... <br>
<br>
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. <br>

There is porting fee per number n time delay, so practically what you
saying is cumbersome :) (to jump around between telcos with porting
request)

You'd hope so!
I guess the law makes sense if you have a dodgy provider or something -
it would suck big time if your main business number was tied up because
of a dispute that could take months to go through the courts.
