Listings are "scoped " to a local Verizon Directory
based on a combination of the Area Code (NPA) and Telephone Number Prefix
(NNX). The Directory Specifications file contains the:
- Directory Names
- Standard YPPA Directory Numbers
- Directory Dates
- Directory Sections
- Associated Area Code/Prefix, Community, Exchange
(Location) Code, and Exchange Name combinations that comprise each
directory
For Extended Area coverage, Verizon places certain exchange code/area code/prefix combinations
into directories other than the local for directory user convenience.
Depending on the directory, these listings may be interfiled with the local listings in the local section or printed in a separate section.
This is administered at DexMedia LLC (publisher of Verizon print directories) discretion on an
annual basis. It is our intent to do the same with CLEC listings when these listings fall within the same parameters.
The Community Name can be used as additional information
in determining the coverage area of a Verizon Directory. Keep in mind that some large communities may be split into two or more directory areas. Directory scoping by Area Code/Prefix is a more accurate method of determining local directory than use of the community names.
When Verizon is the directory provider for facility based CLECs or for Resellers who are reselling other than Verizon service in a Verizon directory area, DexMedia LLC needs a list of Area Code/Prefixes assigned to your company. The CLEC Area Code/Prefix Form, found on this site, is the form used to provide this information to Idearc.
On a per directory basis DexMedia LLC
determines whether to print an expanded (or spelled out) version of
the community name or follow the community name as sent on a Service
Order. In the local directory the community name is most often abbreviated.
In any other directory of appearance, the Community Name is usually
spelled out. It is our intent to retain or modify community names submitted
to us on CLEC orders using the same methodology used with Verizon listings.
Directory schedule
information (Pub Dates, Ship Dates, Final Service Order Dates, and Telco
Close Dates) is included in this file. Please refer to the section titled
DIRECTORY CLOSE POLICY in the Verizon Network Services Directory Listing Standards
for information concerning how these dates
are applicable for ordering directory listings. An abbreviated directory schedule can also be found in the Verizon Network Services Directory Listing Standards
Included in this file are directories that DexMedia LLC publishes that are not Verizon system directories.
(NOTE: A system directory is the term used for a directory that covers a geographic area where Verizon provides local telephone service. Foreign Directory refers to a directory where Verizon is not currently a local exchange carrier but for which DexMedia LLC publishes a telephone directory. Foreign directories may or may not include a white page listing section).
The Directory Specifications file is available in
two formats. Click on the link below for the file that best fits your
office needs.
- The report
file format is in a pre-described report layout. The whole report
is completely fielded and ready for use.
- The flat
file format is raw data with no pre-described layout.
It is useful for fielding the data into a format that is useful to
the individual CLEC organization.
Please be patient. These files are fairly large
and, depending on your modem speed, may take several minutes to open.
If you have questions related to the information in this file, please send an email to the CLEC Liaison Team at wholesaleinquiries@dexmedia.com.
