Toll Free Service Access Codes

The Common Carrier Bureau has issued a letter to Database Service Management, Inc., extending the time for subscribers holding toll free 800 numbers to exercise their right of first refusal to request corresponding toll free 888 numbers that were set aside for them. The letter also extends the time for RespOrgs to report subscriber requests to DSMI and for DSMI to process and verify RespOrg reports as they come in, and it directs DSMI to take several other actions to ensure: That all subscriber requests to retain their set- aside numbers are promptly assigned and activated as ``working''; that no subscriber requests get rejected for being submitted late; and that all set-aside numbers for which subscribers did not respond in writing are placed in ``unavailable'' status rather than ``spare'' status, while the Commission audits them to ensure that subscribers received adequate notice from the RespOrgs.
