What we manage

Everything a RespOrg is responsible for

A RespOrg controls a toll-free number's record in the national registry and decides which carrier gets each call. That is the whole job, and it is the only job we do.

CONTROL

RespOrg of record

We hold your numbers under our RespOrg IDs, keep the registry records accurate, and act on your instructions the same day.

TRANSFER

RespOrg changes

Moving numbers from another RespOrg? Send an LOA and the list. We file the change requests and track each number until it lands.

ROUTING

Routing records

Route by area code, state, time of day, day of week, or percentage split across carriers. Changes are scheduled to the minute.

RECOVERY

Disaster reroutes

If a carrier goes down, we point affected numbers at your backup carrier. Pre-built reroute records make it fast to cut over and back.

SEARCH

Number search and reservation

Find spare numbers by pattern, vanity word, or code. We reserve them in the registry and hold them while you decide.

LIFECYCLE

Disconnects and recordkeeping

Disconnect intercepts, number aging, and a clean audit trail of who changed what and when for every number you hold.

Scope

A RespOrg that isn't trying to be your phone company

Most RespOrgs are carriers that manage numbers to sell minutes. We don't carry traffic, so your routing decisions are never weighed against our network. Use any carrier, or several.

We do

  • Registry control of your toll-free numbers
  • RespOrg changes in and out
  • Routing records across any carriers you choose
  • Outage reroutes and restores
  • Spare and vanity number sourcing

We don't

  • Sell voice minutes or SIP trunks
  • Sell SMS, PBX, or contact center software
  • Lock your numbers to our network

How it works

Moving your numbers to AELTEL

  1. Send your list

    Numbers, current RespOrg, and a signed letter of authorization. We check every number's status in the registry first.

  2. We file the change

    RespOrg change requests go into the Somos TFN Registry. Your existing routing stays active while they process.

  3. Confirm routing

    We verify each record points to your carrier, or build new records if you want different routing.

  4. Test and manage

    Test calls on every number. After that, send changes by email and we handle them.

FAQ

Common questions

What is a RespOrg?

A Responsible Organization is the company authorized to manage a toll-free number's record in the Somos TFN Registry. The RespOrg sets which carrier receives calls to the number and controls the number's status. Every working toll-free number has exactly one RespOrg.

Do I have to change carriers?

No. We don't provide voice service. Your calls keep going to the carrier you use today, and you can add or swap carriers whenever you want.

Will my numbers go down during a RespOrg change?

A RespOrg change moves control of the record, not the routing. The current routing stays in place until it is updated, so calls keep flowing through the move.

How long does a RespOrg change take?

It depends on how fast the current RespOrg responds to the request. Clean requests with a correct LOA often finish within a few business days. We track every number and tell you where each one stands.

Can you find a specific or vanity number?

Yes. We search the registry for spare numbers by pattern or word. Reserved numbers can be held for up to 45 days under FCC rules before they must be put into service or released.

How is pricing set?

A flat monthly rate per number, scaled by how many numbers you bring. There is no per-minute charge for RespOrg services because we don't carry the calls. Ask for a quote with your number count.
