transitioning a DID to a port_out state

[Joseph Watson]

Hey everyone,

Keep good data on telephone numbers is very important. In the documentation, as well as the code, there is talk of a port_out number state as part of the DID lifecycle. The number state is useful because it transitions the number into another state and also removes the number from any hunting actions thus forcing calls to go outbound. It also effectively removes it as a provisionable number within the database.

I am able to check a DID into this state manually be editing the numbers doc in the database, but this is of course a scary process and something you do not want to let your standard provisioning folks do. So how can I transition a number into this state without messing with the database directly.

Thanks,
Joe
