Hi all! I was wondering what you have experienced with flowroute and their porting? I love their service but it seems when I try to port a number over to them from someone who wants to get away from their current provider. Flowroute doesn't service the area.. Is there a provider I can port a number to then have flowroute get the number from them? Like a proxy somewhat. I have schools that are wanting to switch to freeswitch and I always have to do remote call forwarding on their line. So they pay flowroute and still their current provider for the RCF feature. Just trying to get advice on what you all have had experiences with and gather any ideas if I can.

There in lies the problem with VoIP in Rural Areas... If they have a small rural ILEC there good luck on porting them... What you¹ll end up having to do is either get that LEC to deliver it as SIP or use a TDM -> SIP gateway of some sort On 1/29/15, 8:28 AM, "Blake Priddy" <bpriddy@bryantschools.org> wrote:

The problem isn't in porting the actual number itself...it is the underlying carrier(s) of Flowroute (or any other provider) not having some type of trunking connecting to the rate center or tandem you are trying to port the number from along with an LRN for that rate center. Along with other issues like 911/E911 support, etc. especially if it's rural. The costs to a carrier could be several hundred dollars per month to get into a rate center so it's difficult when it's just a few numbers. On 01/29/2015 08:35 AM, Ken Rice wrote:

Hi Blake, I don't have direct experience with flowroute but as far as I can see the situation you are facing is the same with some italian providers... In situation where I'm not able to port the number to another provider I'm using an FXO converter (Could be a Linksys/Cisco SPA 3000) to get analog lines and to redirect them to my FS box. In my FS I have an incoming configuration (that is coming from the ATA) and several different outbound Gateways so I do not need to pay for any forward to get incoming calls and also I'm not paying too expenses bill from the provider because I only keep it for incoming calls and I'm using cheaper Gateways for outgoing calls.. I hope this could help Cheers Max Il giorno 29/gen/2015, alle ore 15:35, Ken Rice ha scritto:
