Operations Support Systems for Unbundled Elements and Resale Sample Clauses

Operations Support Systems for Unbundled Elements and Resale. 3.3.1 The CLEC will also be able to order services for unbundled network elements, as well as interim number portability, directly from CenturyTel. To initiate an order for these services or elements, the CLEC will submit an LSR from its data center to CenturyTel. CenturyTel will accommodate submission of LSR orders by facsimile or United States Mail. An LSR is very similar to an ASR, except that it will be used exclusively for line- side interconnection requests. 3.3.2 Upon receipt of the LSR, CenturyTel will process the request. After the LSR is processed, CenturyTel will transmit confirmation to the CLEC that the LSR has been processed, providing a record of the telephone number and due date. 3.3.3 Most LSRs will be used either to transfer an existing CenturyTel customer to the CLEC or to request service for a new customer who is not an existing CenturyTel customer.

An exception would be a multi-line xxxx group for 12 lines or more. The other numbers then will be provided through the normal confirmation process. 3.3.5 The processing of specifically requested telephone numbers (called “vanity numbers”) is as follows. CenturyTel service representatives will work with the CLEC representatives off line as CenturyTel would for its own customers to process vanity numbers as expeditiously as possible. The basic tariff guidelines for providing telephone numbers will be followed. 3.3.6 Once the order for line-side interconnection service is established, it is moved fo...
