Differentiation between disconnection and reassignment dates

[marta-ramirez]

Currently, when CAMARA Number Recycling phoneNumberRecycled it is set to true, it means there has been an ownership change since the "specifiedDate" in the request, but there's no indication on what triggered that result: a disconnection or a reassignment.

The original use case to be covered is to prevent misdelivery of SMS messages from service provider. It is clear that deactivation date plays an important role. It is the event that can lead to the misdelivery on the first place, considering the most important aspect here is to know when the individual you wanted to reach in the first place is no longer reachable in the number you are querying.

Considering the above, querying for a date in which the number is in a recycled numbers pool would not make much sense, as there is no owner at that point in time. What use case is covered when the ASP queries for a date when the number is in quarantine? It should not be preventing misdelivery of communications. For that, the ASP should query from a date in which the number was still assigned to an individual.

Are there any ongoing discussions or plans to include supporting parameters that differentiate what and when the last change of ownership event was (disconnection or reassignment)?

Thanks and regards,
