[Asterisk-biz] Telephone number portability. How does it work exactly?

[Rehan Ahmed]

Alok,
You can go to any level3 partner like myphonecompany.com or didx.net and
they can port your number for you to there network adn you can use it your
self on sip and sell it to your customers.

You cant be a CLEC in every area your self or you will become Level 3 your
self, which would be a great thing :)
