Additional Issues

PAS Tip of the Month

Each month we will send out a Tip of the Month via email to our distribution list, which provides helpful tips for carriers regarding the pooling process.

On July 2nd, we sent out our 1st Tip of the Month which read as follows:

As a reminder, evidence of certification and evidence documenting your readiness to provide service within 60 days of the thousands-block effective date must be submitted the same day the initial thousands-block request is submitted in PAS. In addition, written approval from the state must be submitted the same day the state waiver request is submitted in PAS.

If you have any questions, please contact the Number Pooling Customer Support at 1-866-NEUPOOL or pooling.support@neustar.biz.
