How "IN" are ported numbers?
Ok here's a question for the VZ reps here:
If anyone ports their land line to VZ for example, how does the IN "computer" know it is really an IN call and not just some land line call being placed. So when another Verizon customer call the ported number, do they both get the call for free as part pf their previously subscribed IN calling plan?
Does Verizon connect the IN dots just by exchange assigned to them as a carrier (which worked well prior to Number portability) or does the database specifically list the entire number, irrespective of its original location or previous life as a land line?
Inquiring minds want to know.
Thanks

Ported numbers are IN.
If you're IN, you're IN. If you're not, you're not. Everything in the world is either elephant or non-elephant, and you can't be a little bit pregnant.
Once a number is ported to VZW, the network will recognize it as a VZW phone number.
With that being said, the industry standard for completion of a wireline-to-wireless port is four to ten days. If you port your landline, even if everything seems to be working fine after three or four days, certain things may not be complete. I've seen cases where landline numbers were ported and caller ID data wasn't transmitting accurately during the first few days.
So if you port a landline, it may not be properly recognized as a VZW phone number during the first week or...
