Disconnecting an ANI

Disconnecting an ANI releases your customer from your Lumen billing account. An order that disconnects your customer from billing essentially releases your customer to Lumen. Lumen can choose to block the customer’s service or to retain the customer. Using Control Center, you can also add or change an ANI.

To disconnect an ANI:

    1. Using the left menu, click Orders, click Manage Orders, then click Disconnect.
    1. From the Service Type list, select ANI.
    1. Type a working telephone number in the WTN field, then click Lookup.

      Control Center creates the order form based on the existing information for the ANI.
    1. From the Cellular Phone Indicator radio buttons, click the appropriate cellular phone indicator.
    1. In the Customer Order ID field, type a unique identifier for the order. A unique order ID is required for all disconnect transactions.
    1. Click Submit Request.

      A message pops up with your order confirmation results.  You can correct any errors in the order and resubmit it.
    1. Take a screenshot or make note of the order confirmation results information. (When you click OK, it dismisses the order confirmation information). The results information is not available for later retrieval, but you can look up the 8XX, ANI, or Card on your account in Service Status.
    1. Click OK.
