Hey I just want to know if you guys have had any issues with migrations that the customer migrated over but was still incurring charges on the ATTWS side for calls and things like that.

They are if reps don't bother to cancel their ATTWs accounts,and leave them running when the number is active on the cingular side, but The Migration team completing the cancel and switch usually does good, but occasionaly one or rwo get left on, which we will credit of course!!!!

The numbers cancel almost immediatly w/out a rep cancelling, as a matter of fact we (at the store level) aren't allowed to cancel after a migration but rather just wait. After a minute or to if you check the account again it will show the number ad canceled due to prefered port out.

They don't cancel by themselves, the person who's in The migration team is supposed to cancel the acount for preffered port, but if they don't the service remains active on the blue side and even though there is no usage, they are still billed for usage, and if you tell me i'm worngi can give the names and numbers of 50 customers i've talked to that is exactly the situation they have run into and that we had to...

All I know is I got a call the other day where a man claimed he had cancelled in October to migrate to Cingular but his account with ATTWS hadnt been cancelled until December. I couldnt access Cingulars systems to find out because well...Cingular was closed. So idk I told him to call back so we could look into it further while Cingular was open.

See, i would have checked poet and see if it was cingulars number, then after that check for usage if non e from when he claimed he migrated, i would trust and adust hos bill, cxl it for preffered port then calc. the prorated amounts then adj it in advance ahead of time.

See that was the problem. There was usage on the phone. Im not an idiot I know how to do my job. Thats why I asked if it was an issue with the calls being charged to the Blue account. Since the calls on the bill were the same numbers as calls on previous bills. I would have taken care of it for him if we had access to Telegence that night but since we didnt there was nothing I could do.

At our location, Parumus, we notified last week of September that on October 1, 2004 if a customer calls about doing a migration complete the request then set expectations, but we were not allowed to proactively offer it to when customers called in for anything else.

now you call in even to say hello, you have to make a migration offer

There could be pro-rated charges, if they ported over in mid bill cycle.
