After porting our number, people in our local area with AT&T service can't call us

We ported our number (Land Line) away from AT&T on Dec.15th.  We switched to a VoIP provider and now none of the people in our local area with AT&T service can call us.  AT&T said the issue was with the new carrier so we ported to another VoIP provider and we have the same results.  The new VoIP provider would like to setup a vendor call to get this fixed but I'm not sure how to go about this with AT&T.  Every time I call AT&T I get bounced around for several hours.  Any ideas?

That's true.  Since you have the NPA-NXX if you know anyone in that exchange have them report to AT&T that they can't call your NPA-NXX.  I still don't understand why your carrier is putting you in the middle, this is an office to office problem not a single number problem.

I'd say it's a routing issue.  The new carrier should know who to call to get it corrected, they shouldn't be putting it on you to line things up

The old VoIP carrier (Bandwidth.com) and the new VoIP carrier (Inteliquent) have both opened tickets with AT&T. 

AT&T says that someone with an AT&T account that is having trouble calling should report the issue.  I have done that as well.  The local AT&T tech even admits that he cant call the number and that its not their issue.  I've been advised by the VoIP provider to try and setup a vendor meet or call between AT&T and Inteliquent.   Just not sure how to go about that.

I've been doing my own trouble shooting and have determined that its only AT&T customers in that local area (NPA NXX) that are having the issues.  There are other towns close by that use AT&T (with different NPA NXX) and those appear to be working.  Seems to be isolated to the central office in this small town.  Definitely appears to be some residual routing.
