CG-STUG-001 Issue 1.28-August 4, 2006

Utilize BellSouth Intercept Tandems form located in Appendix C of this guide.

Basic Service Features

BellSouth will provide Intercept Access to CLEC end-users on behalf of the CLEC. Intercept Service refers calls from a disconnected or non-working number to the proper number. A database lookup is performed to retrieve the referral number. The referral number is provided to the calling party by a recorded audio announcement.

A separate dedicated intercept trunk facility to the TOPS switch is required for intercept. Standard trunk signaling is used to send the intercepted number to the Number Services switch.

Basic Service Capabilities and Restrictions

For Facility-based CLECs, a separate, dedicated intercept trunk facility to the TOPS switch is required for intercept. Standard trunk signaling is used to send the intercepted number to the Number Services switch. Locations of the BellSouth Switches used for intercept can be found in the Local Exchange Routing Guide (LERG). (Please see the assigned Account Team representative for more information on the LERG.) The subscribing CLEC must provide updates to the intercept database to support the service. Initially, updates will be done via a manual process. Intercepted numbers will be available within 72 hours after being properly provided to the intercept database. Intercept service is provided for three months.

Note:
Intercept Access provided on behalf of the CLEC by BellSouth is a service the CLEC would use for end-users that are disconnecting their service from the CLEC or changing their telephone number within the CLEC. BellSouth provides end-users disconnecting service from BellSouth or changing telephone numbers within BellSouth.

Basic Intercept Access Service does not include the following:

• Custom Announcements
• Call completion
• Detail Billing

Updates To The Intercept

The subscribing CLEC must provide updates to the Intercept database to support the service. Intercepted numbers will be available within 72 hours after being correctly provided by the CLEC to BellSouth. Intercept Service is provided for an average of 3 months or until a limited supply of numbers requires a reassignment. Currently, Intercept updates are submitted manually using the BellSouth LIDB and/or Intercept Service Order form found in Appendix C of this guide.

Feature Interaction

N/A

BellSouth will make every effort possible to complete service requests by the CLEC's desired due date. Facility availability and construction requirements impact BellSouth's ability to always meet CLEC expectations. The stated interval is based upon average time for workload, facility availability, and construction requirements.

Project coordination is not required.
