If i have a pending order to disconnect 3 lines, and then you request to port the entire account, do I give you those 3 lines, or not? If the customer requests more lines, and you didn't know about them because the order is pending, do I leave those new lines on the circuit (they may have ordered them, for example, to satisfy a contractual minimum commitment for a few months, for example, and did not want you to port them) or do I allow your port to go through, and disconnect the T1 they were supposed to ride on? Or do I offer the new TNs to you, and it turns out they were supposed to remain with us?</div><div><br></div><div>I think it's fair to reject for pending orders, but only if the winning carrier can find out what those orders are. Your LOA probably gives you blanket rights to operate on the customer's behalf - I suggest you do that a few times to see what the orders are, and if they're BS, file a complaint with the public service commission in the state you're operating in. If not, it may at least be enlightening.</div><div><br></div><div>-Paul</div><div><br></div><br><div><div>On Nov 1, 2012, at 11:15 , Carlos Alvarez <<a href="mailto:carlos@televolve.com">carlos@televolve.com</a>> wrote:</div><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"><blockquote type="cite">On Thu, Nov 1, 2012 at 5:42 AM, Justin B Newman <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:justin@ejtown.org" target="_blank">justin@ejtown.org</a>></span> wrote:<br><div class="gmail_quote"><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">
