Telinta, Inc., a global leader in cloud-based VoIP switching and billing solutions, and proleneä, an industry leader in Local Number Portability (LNP) solutions, today announced special promotions for VoIP service providers, helping them to query proleneä’s LNP data directly from Telinta’s hosted softswitch platform. LNP queries enable VoIP service providers to route calls more accurately based on the Location Routing Number (LRN), helping to reduce VoIP termination costs. When a phone number is ported from one carrier to another, a ten digit LRN is assigned to it. Telinta’s hosted softswitch queries proleneä’s LNP data, finds the LRN associated with a ported number, and routes the call to the carrier now serving that number. “proleneä enables Telinta customers to manage their VoIP termination costs on US calls by routing on the destination’s LRN rather than the dialed number,” said Gable Baldridge, Vice President of Product and Software Development, proleneä. “When termination prices vary…
