Product Overview: Toll-free Database Access Service is an offering that utilizes originating trunk-side switched access service. The service provides for the forwarding of end-user dialed 800 calls to a telephone company service switching point which will initiate a query to the database to perform the customer ID function. The call is then forwarded to the appropriate 800 number subscriber. Tariff Reference Terms and Conditions Rates Carrier Access Tariff Item Product Overview This service is intended for situations like acquisitions or mergers in which one Inter-Exchange Carrier with Trunk Side Access (the Acquiring Inter-Exchange Carrier) acquires the equal access customer base of another Inter-Exchange Carrier (the Original Inter-Exchange Carrier). An Acquiring Inter-Exchange Carrier can request that the Company convert the customer PIC selections from the Original Inter-Exchange Carrier to the Acquiring Inter-Exchange Carrier on a bulk transfer basis. Prior to the processing of such a bulk customer base transfer by the Company, the Acquiring Inter-Exchange Carrier must provide the Company with documentation of the original Inter-Exchange Carrier agreement to the bulk transfer of its customer base. An Acquiring Inter-Exchange Carrier requesting a bulk transfer of another Inter-Exchange Carrier customer base must provide the company with advance notice of such a request. Depending upon the size and nature of the customer base to be transferred, the specific timing of the transfer may be subject to negotiation with the company. Charges for processing a request for a bulk transfer of another Inter-Exchange Carrier customer base are assessed to the acquiring Inter-Exchange Carrier. The charges, as specified in the tariff, consist of two components, a basic charge per request and a variable charge per access line PIC selection transferred.
