Viewing the status of an order

Using Control Center, you can check the status of your orders. For example, you can see what's happening with add, move, change, or disconnect requests you've submitted. In a hurry or on a mobile device? You can get status on an order without having to sign in to Control Center. You just need your billing account number and order ID. Have a lot of orders to manage? Learn how to search, filter, and sort orders you can also create and save views to customize the page.

To view the status of an order:

  1. Click Orders, then click Order Status.

    Control Center shows all open orders and those completed in the past 90 days and lists status of each order in the Status column. If an order has child orders, a plus icon (    ) appears to the left of the order number.

    • Pending—we priced and designed a solution and you accepted it. We’re working on the final details of the order so our team can submit your order.
    • Submitted—we submitted your order and are getting credit approval. Once your credit is approved, we will assign a customer care manager to work on your order (depending on the service you purchased).
    • In Progress—we’re working on building and testing your service. As progress continues, we’ll email you to let you know the status. If you have questions about your order, contact the customer care manager listed on your order.
    • Cancelled—we canceled your order and your service(s) no further progress will be made. For questions concerning the cancellation, contact the customer care manager listed on your order.
    • Complete—we completed your order and your service(s) is ready for you to use and manage. We’ve also started billing you for this service.

  1. To view a timeline for your order (with milestones and due dates), click the blue arrow on the right side of the row for the order.

    You can zoom in and out on the timeline to view details for milestones, attachments, and due dates. In addition, you may want to use the sort and filter tools if you have a lot of accounts to search quickly.
