[VoiceOps] Activation Timing

[Shawn L]

Just my personal preference, but I like to wait until I can see our
equipment at the far-end (verified connectivity) before doing the actual
scheduling of the port.  I know you can amend the port and re-schedule, but
there's a lot of other things that can go wrong during the port -- provider
not actually removing the number from their switch, etc. (I'm looking at
you Spectrum) that I don't need to create additional complications.
