[Asterisk-Users] Local Number Ports

Anyone out there (in the US) using a CLEC to do third party local number
ports? Let me be more specific;

Our inbound calls come in via inbound only PRIs from a local CLEC, our
outbound calls go via SIP termination to a  wholesale VoIP carriers
softswitch.

On the inbound numbers we use the carrier of record is the CLEC that we
buy the PRI from, not us.

When we bring a number on to our system via local number portability the
number is actually ported to the CLEC that provides us the wholesale
PRI.

This is know as a third party LNP.

Anyone doing it now?

The real questions is what are you paying per number port? We have no
reference for what this should cost and therefore do not know if the
proposed rate is competitive and fair.

Any input appreciated.
