Hi,

I wanted to add some comments to Sebastian's response:

1- When you have a lot of DIDs, you can't just "port" them over from
company1 to company2. Try to have 1M or so DIDs and ask if you can just
port them. No no, not that simple. There is a process that a lot of times
is not worth the cost/risk/etc.
2- What happens if company1 has very good pricing for DIDs, but
extremely high rates for placing outbound calls, and company2 has super
aggressive pricing for the destinations you use most, but sells DIDs very
expensive? Mix and match? :)
3- What do you do, when instead of having 1 outbound carrier, you have
several 50?

At the end I think you are mistakenly comparing apples to oranges, your DID
provider has nothing to do with your outbound carrier, can the DID provider
also give you outbound calling? Most likely, but that doesn't mean that the
best way to go is to route outbound calls via the carrier that is providing
you DIDs.
