CIC Translations

Carrier identification Code (CIC) Translation is the process of routing all calls associated with a carrier’s CIC to the Verizon ‘555’ network. Essentially, a customer’s CIC is set up to “ride” the Verizon 555 network. Customer’s can make this seamless change to their end users by keeping their ANI’s PIC intact and simply choosing to translate to the Verizon network which offers worldwide termination.

Customers must secure their own CIC with the North American Number Planning Administrator (NANPA) and the Local Exchange Carrier in their area. Upon securing their CIC, the customer chooses the tandems and end offices they want to have translated to the Verizon 555 network. A Service Delivery coordinator will project coordinate the request and work with Verizon Network Engineering who in-turn will work with the LECs. Once the translations is completed and the ANIs are PIC’d to the customer CIC, the traffic is automatically routed the Verizon network so the end user and the LEC recognize the wholesale customer as the provider of service.
