  • Pending disconnects can be cancelled, however turnaround times to complete disconnects are fairly quick, so agents will only have a small window of time to to cancel it before the Work Order is completed
  • Follow normal  procedures per market for all other (HSD, cable, etc.) services with the exception of mobile
     
  • Follow these steps
     
  • Please note:
     
    • Line will remain active and billing to continue until new carrier completes the port out. Bill will be prorated accordingly 
       
    • Mobile services with HSD include a $20 discount per line.  Removing HSD would technically disqualify the customer for the discount.  However, there is a 30 day grace period before removing the $20 discount (since its possible customer may change their mind)
       
      • After 30 days, the code gets automatically updated (i.e. to Mobile without HSD) and the customer would need to pay the higher rate
         
      • Similar grace period will apply to new customers with activating the mobile line prior to getting HSD installed
  • If the customer ports out/disconnects the primary line but keeps other lines, the next lowest occurrence that is active in ICOMS becomes the primary line
