[asterisk-biz] DIDs lifetime on DIDX

[Paul]

This question keeps coming up because some people do not understand who
actually "owns" the DID. First thing I will point out is that the
location determines who has jurisdiction. Obviously the FCC and state
regulators can't do much to protect your rights to a non-US DID. Second
thing you have to understand is that you might not "own" the DID and
neither does your vendor in many cases. Somebody correct me if I'm wrong
but I do believe that non-CLEC's do not have to provide LNP for the
local DID numbers they buy from a CLEC and resell. In some situations
they might be able to get the entire DID block ported to another CLEC.
If they later become a CLEC in that state they would probably get the
DID block ported to themselves.

Interesting note - a friend of mine just ported a San Diego number that
he originally got from lingo to vonage. Entire process took under 2
weeks. He got the ATA, plugged it in and it worked immediately.

The Buyer and the Seller understand that once an exchange has taken place on DIDX, neither party (neither the Buyer nor the Seller) will cancel said agreement, for the period of time in which the said DID numbers are active. The provided DID numbers will then be passed on to other members of the exchange making it impossible to cancel the exchange.
