You missed the entire point of the previous messages in this thread; now
that the US has number portability, 'number blocks' are a thing of the
past. I have many friends who have ported previously-wireline numbers
onto wireless services, but if you go by the 'number blocks' those
numbers will appear to be wireline.

Depending on how accurate your 'wireless or wireline' query needs to be
(and the potential ramifications of it being wrong, say, if you are
telemarketing) this could make a big difference.

Re: [asterisk-biz] Whitepaper: How and to whom sell VoIP

You don‘t need to buy it.

 

You can download it from our site: http://www.kolmisoft.com for free.

 

It is publicly available and concentrates on selling VoIP to companies, changing their infrastructure to VoIP or adding VoIP capable hardware into it.

 

It‘s not about Asterisk or our products, but VoIP in general, so maybe it can be useful.

Re: [asterisk-biz] Wireless lookup service

Hello Alan,

Can you tell more how you will use this ?

You gave me a great idea, and on the reverse look up on www.call-x.com we will now display
if it is a voip, cell or pstn number.

Again it will only show up if some one reports the info to us.

Re: [asterisk-biz] Wireless lookup service

Thanks for the info. For some reason I thought Paul had shut his business down sometime ago otherwise that would have been my first stop. I do know he had the data previously because I bought some data over a year ago. I seem to remember the carrier information was not 100% accurate, however determining the carrier is not a priority, as long as it tells me it's wireless that's all that matters. It is my understanding carriers purchase blocks of numbers so really even if NPANXX lookup gives me the answer then that's all I need.

Thanks.
Alan

So this is a loaded question...
 
The short, yet inaccurate, answer is that I use http://telcodata.us/
 
The longwinded answer goes like this:
With the advent of Number Portability (both Local Number Portability and Wireless Number Portability), that data changes on a day-to-day basis as users swap from provider to provider, and other reasons numbers might shift from one carrier to another. The only true maintainer of which provider serves a particular number is NANPA (which contracts Neustar to handle this), which is who the carriers report their changes and ports to.  Even the major carriers get daily updates to this data, or they query Neustar themselves.
 
There are a number of somewhat expensive methods to access this data (I say expensive to mean it's cost prohibitive for many small businesses). Most revolve around getting SS7 access (equipment and service) or getting an account with Neustar directly (which often requires you to be a carrier yourself). You can pay a number of companies like Verisign or NetNumber per query (which, just get their data from Neustar). You might be able to locate a provider who will offer to provide queries for you, say, through HTTP, but I'm reasonably certain (if I remember correctly from my Neustar legal documentation) that they expressly forbid this, and require that the data just be used for routing.
 
So, your best bet might be to use a database like I've mentioned above with a "best guess" approach. All my research leads me to believe you'll get somewhere around 95% accuracy, though perhaps more for wireless because people tend not to port wireless numbers as frequently.

I'm looking for a service that can provide either a database or method for looking up a number to determine if it is wireless or not. Doesn't have to give carrier information (although that would be nice). US only.


Does anyone know of such a service?


Thanks

mBlox can offer an API that queries the Neustar DB, but expect to pay 2-5c
per query. They'll tell you what carrier too. Consider Neustar's
Wireless Message Routing Service (WMRS).
