  • Reserve any additional telephone numbers by using the appropriate Pre-Order transaction.
  • The "Donor" company issues an "UNLOCK" function transaction record via the appropriate Verizon electronic interface system. This transaction unlocks the customer's E 9-1-1 record. At this point, AND NOT BEFORE, the Recipient Company must issue a 'Migrate' function transaction record via the appropriate Verizon electronic interface system. This migrate function transaction record will change the ownership of the TN record from the "Donor" Company to the Recipient Company, create a new ALI record, and lock the record to the Recipient Company.
