Vertical Services Ordering Guidelines
Issue 3
Abstract/Description

This document describes the ordering process used for the purpose of requesting vertical service. Vertical Services are optional services, as defined in the provider’s state tariff, that may be added to an end user’s basic dial tone service.

The VSOG Issue 3 provides the industry-developed guidelines for two ordering forms used for the vertical service process, and sample forms. Each form is supported by a practice containing the guidelines for use of the form and definitions for field entries.

Vertical Service Ordering Guidelines may be supported with the following Local Service Ordering Guidelines Practices:

• Pre-Order Process Transaction Guide ATIS/OBF-LSR-120

• Provider Notification Form Preparation Guide ATIS/OBF-LSR-121

• Customer Service Inquiry Preparation Guide ATIS/OBF-LSR-122
