Regarding the attached PIM 60
and the porting scenario
described within, the LNPA WG
reached consensus at their May
2007 meeting that this is a
legitimate porting scenario
provided that each of the
following caveats are met in
providing service to the
customer by the New Service
Provider.
• The customer would like to
receive calls to their number(s)
at a location of theirs that is
physically outside of the Rate
Center associated with their
number(s).
• The customer understands
that these numbers must continue
to be rated in accordance with
the Rate Center currently
associated with their number(s)
and does not want them to take
on the rating characteristics of
the Rate Center of their new
location.
• The New Service Provider
already serves the Rate Center
associated with the customer’s
number(s) out of the same switch
to which they want to port this
customer's number(s).
• The New Service Provider
switch that already serves the
Rate Center of the customer’s
number(s) has an existing POI at
the ILEC's tandem over which
calls to these numbers are
routed. If this customer's
number(s) are ported into the
New Service Provider switch,
they would be routed over the
same POI, and then the New
Service Provider would deliver
the calls to the customer's
premise that is located outside
of the Rate Center associated
with the customer’s Number(s).
• The New Service Provider
offers a tariffed and/or
publicly published foreign
exchange (FX) service in
accordance with regulatory
requirements that would cover
this situation. Calls to and
from customers located in the
Rate Center associated with
these ported numbers and the
customer served by the New
Service Provider will be routed
exactly the same whether the New
Service Provider assigns the
customer a phone number from its
1K block of numbers in that Rate
Center or whether the New
Service Provider ports the
numbers. This customer will be
served out of the New Service
Provider’s tariffed and/or
publicly published foreign
exchange (FX) service offering
in accordance with regulatory
requirements.
• The LSR submitted by the
New Service Provider reflects
the customer’s original service
location as recorded by the Old
Service Provider. |
