<div style="word-wrap:break-word"><div>If the customer's account is truly in flux, it makes sense to me. 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>

Leave the circuit alone until formally cancelled (which Integra requires 30 days notice of, even if you port out all numbers including BTN).</div>

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></blockquote><div><br></div><div>We nearly always know what the pending orders are, because we initiated them, as above. The top problem we're trying to solve is being able to kill the new customer's commitment to Integra in less time. In a few cases it's just operational stuff where we need to move things from one circuit to another and such, but the real hard cost problem is delaying the turn-down of a PRI for 30 days or more.</div>
