2.8 The Parties will set Location Routing Number (LRN) unconditional or ten (10)
digit triggers where applicable. Where triggers are set, the porting Party will
remove the ported number at the same time the trigger is removed.
2.9 A trigger order is a service order issued in advance of the porting of a number. A
trigger order 1) initiates call queries to the AIN SS7 network in advance of the
number being ported; and 2) provides for the new service provider to be in control
of when a number ports.
2.10 Where triggers are not set, the Parties shall coordinate the porting of the number
between service providers so as to minimize service interruptions to the End User.
2.11 BellSouth and OTI will work cooperatively to implement changes to LNP process
flows ordered by the FCC or as recommended by standard industry foras
addressing LNP.

shall pay the query charge associated with LNP Query Service as set forth in

2, OTI shall fill out and submit the Interconnection data sheet for BellSouth LNP
Query Service. The form can be obtained on BellSouth’s Interconnection Web site
under BellSouth LNP Query Service and click on forms. Once the form has been
filled out and submitted the LNP Query charge will take effect on the approved
date. This charge is not subject to the resale discount set forth in Attachment 1.

the following processes:
4.1.1 When OTI submits an LSR for services, if the telephone number associated with
the services requested resides in a switch other than BellSouth’s, then BellSouth
will submit an LNP LSR to the appropriate switch owner. OTI shall be
responsible for reimbursing BellSouth for any costs or charges imposed on
BellSouth by the switch owner resulting from the submission of the LNP LSR. In
addition, OTI shall pay to BellSouth the manual service order charges or electronic
service order charges as specified in Exhibit A of Attachment 2 for BellSouth’s
creation and submission of the LNP LSR to the appropriate switch owner.
4.1.2 Working telephone numbers, telephone numbers for which payment has been made
