IX. Market Specific Information
Phoenix, AZ CDMA Traffic Migration
Between Tuesday, June 3, 2008, and Saturday, June 14, 2008, Alltel will migrate all digital CDMA traffic from the Motorola - EMX switches to the Phoenix Nortel P-MSC switch. All Analog traffic will remain on the Motorola - EMX switches.
This migration will cause Customers to be unable to place or receive calls on Alltel’s network or on our partners’ network for up to 2 ½ hours each night (6/3/08 - 6/14/08) between 1a.m. and 6:00a.m. (CDT). This means that some Customers could experience a full outage during these migration periods.
All subscriber records will remain in the SDHLR (eSM) switch. Tech Support will continue to view/access these subscribers’ records in the SDHLR (eSM) switch.
3-Way Calling Change and Set-up Procedure
The 3-way calling feature will change for these subscribers. These Customers will now have to:
• Press the flash/send key
• Dial the 3rd party
• Press the flash/send key again to dial the number
• Once the 3rd party answers, the subscriber must press the flash/send key again to bring everyone together.
Previously, the Customer would dial the 3rd party number, press the flash/send key, and after the 3rd party answered, press flash/send key again to bring everyone together.
