[asterisk-users] 800 number portability

[Don Kelly]

Changing toll-free RespOrgs (Responsible Organizations) is different from
number portability. 

That said, the owner of a toll-free number has the right to change RespOrgs,
so the question is "Who is the owner?"

Has your customer been buying simple toll-free service and owned the number
all along, or are they buying some sort of enhanced service and the provider
owns the number?

Apologies for the off topic post... hoping someone knows if 800 number 
portability in the states is legally enforced?  One of my customers is 
being told by their current "vanity" 800 provider that they own the number 
and refuse to release it to their new carrier.  I thought I understood 
that in 1991 the FCC mandated portability by 1993.  Are they bluffing? 
They want a 3 year buyout to release the number!
