Updating a geographic routing plan

In Control Center, you can change termination numbers, NPA/NXX lines, states, or LATAs for existing geographic plans (sometimes referred to as geo routing). You can also delete individual rules within the feature or you can delete the entire feature itself.

To update a geographic routing plan:

  1. Click Services, then click Network, Security, and Communications.

    Control Center shows a list of all services assigned to the billing accounts under the enterprise ID.

    • To filter your orders based on a specific value, select an attribute from the Advanced Filters icon (), click the section(s) you want to filter by, type your filter criteria, then click Apply.
  1. When you find the service you want to work with, click the hyperlinked service ID or click the icon (in the Actions column), then click View Details.
