Pseudo-Automatic Number Identification (p-ANI)

Once I submit a p-ANI forecast, can I change it?

p-ANI forecasts may be updated at any time.

If I made an error on my p-ANI forecast submission, can I have that forecast removed?

p-ANI forecasts may not be deleted once submitted; however, you can modify your p-ANI forecast with the updated information.

What type of documentation do I need to include with my New p-ANI Request?

When requesting p-ANIs, you must demonstrate that your company is permitted under applicable law to access p-ANI resources in the area for which the p-ANI resources are sought by submitting one of the following documentation at the time the new p-ANI request is submitted:

  • A wireless service provider applicant shall provide a copy of its FCC license, showing that it is authorized to provide service in the area in which it is seeking resources. In the case that the name on the license does not match the SP’s name on the application, the applicant shall provide documentation linking the name on the application with the name on the license.
    •    If a wireless service provider provides a non-exclusive 3650-3700 MHz Radio Service nationwide license, it shall also provide a 3650-3700 MHz Service Registration Acceptance Letter from the FCC to establish both that it has registered fixed sites and base stations, and the location of those sites.
     
  • Any entity that requires p-ANIs to comply with any state or federal order and that has been certified as a CLEC by a state shall provide a copy of its state certification showing that it is authorized to provide service in the area in which it is seeking resources. In the case that the name on the CPCN does not match the SP’s name on the application, the applicant shall provide documentation linking the name on the application with the name on the CPCN.
     
  • An interconnected VoIP service provider applicant shall provide a copy of its FCC nationwide authorization.
     
  • A VPC provider applicant shall provide documentation from the state or the state’s general counsel in the form of:
    1.    An order of the commission denying certification, with the reason for the denial being that the state does not certify VPC providers, or
    2.    A statement from the state commission or its general counsel that it does not certify VPC providers.  
    NANPA will then retain this information in its records for that VPC provider’s future requests for that specific state.

     

How do I exchange a dialable p-ANI for a non-dialable p-ANI?

To exchange a dialable p-ANI for a non-dialable p-ANI, submit a New p-ANI Request, specify in the ‘Comments’ field that this is a request to replace dialable p-ANIs and include the dialable p-ANIs that are being replaced.

How long is a p-ANI aged before becoming available?

The p-ANI will be made available for re-assignment after a thirty (30) day aging period from the date the request to return the p-ANI was approved.

What if I submitted a p-ANI Disconnect in error?

You may submit a request to cancel the p-ANI Disconnect as long as the p-ANI is still in an Aging status.

What if the p-ANI is no longer in an Aging status, and I need to retrieve that p-ANI back?

You will need to submit a New p-ANI request, and indicate both in the Assignment Preference and Comments fields, the range in which you are requesting to be assigned back to you.

How can I modify part of an existing p-ANI range?
