Leveraging a CLEC operating license to secure phone numbers

We've recently been issued a CLEC license in the state of New Jersey and I'd like to leverage that to secure phone numbers for my customers. Who would I need to contact about Interconnects and how would I go about getting a block of numbers assigned to my company?

+1. There's a fair amount to navigate. Much of it specific to your individual needs. Mary Lou Carey is probably a good place to start. -jbn

I'm not sure how that's possible but... if you really have a CLEC license, and don't have any of this other... You have a tough row to hoe with your limited experience. There are several folks on this list that do The Code Dance for a living. I'll let them contact you about that. I actually use a company called GVNW (GVNW.Com) to outsource any of the code work that I need done these days. They do an outstanding job. As for ICA's.... If you have no Telecom Lawyers... You're better off opting into an existing ICA the LEC has available/active on the table. You'll need to go through them and decide what is important to you and your business plan and choose the one that is most advantageous for your company. Good luck; Kidd On Tue, Dec 15, 2015 at 3:47 PM, Armand De Sio <armand.desio at gmail.com> wrote:

I recently jumped though a good portion of the hoops myself; I actually found that the guys and gals at NANPA and the Pooling Administration were really helpful. But I'll tell you the first thing they told me. Read this document along and click through to the links. There's a lot there and, but I feel it's worth your time to read it. https://www.nationalnanpa.com/tools/trainGuides/Getting_Started_with_CO_Code... With that said, Mary Lou Carey is one of the recommended contacts for providing "Administrative Operating Company Number (AOCN)" services, and I imagine that is a great place to start.

When you're ready to start porting, ordering blocks, and setting up LRNs I can assist you. There are a number if technical and legal things you have to get in place. Its not difficult but it is surely costly and you want to ensure not to miss a step. Good luck On Dec 15, 2015 1:25 PM, "Robert Johnson" <robert.j at bendtel.com> wrote:

Don?t see how a guy could jump through all these hoops and not have numbers lined up: http://www.state.nj.us/bpu/pdf/telecopdfs/CLECguidelines.pdf Especially since your tariff rate sheet is part of the application. Pretty gutsy of your finance guy. As a licensee, you know that you had to answer this required questionnaire as part of the application process: http://www.nj.gov/bpu/pdf/telecopdfs/Carrierquestionaire.pdf Which asks about your interconnects with ?Bell Atlantic ? New Jersey, United Telephone and/or Warwick Valley Telephone Company?, so you know the big players. Here?s the other contacts for NJ: http://www.nj.gov/bpu/pdf/telecopdfs/telcoproviders.pdf Beyond that, do whatever Mary Lou and you lawyer tells you to do. Good luck!
