Summary
Somos uses BR resporg IDs for a variety of different things. BRD means it's with a disconnected resporg, in the process of closing down. BR833 is for the 16,000 833 numbers left over and now stuck in Limbo after the failed 833 auction. Some other numbers are just held because of disputes between resporgs. If a number is on BR* you probably won't be able to get it from Somos but it might be worth continuing to monitor.
