Dealer Portal CDMA User Guide

Welcome to the Dealer Portal Under the “Bring Your Own Sprint Device” program customers will now know the freedom previously associated only with GSM handsets. Customers can now reuse their existing Sprint handset on REAL Mobile, saving them from the cost of a new handset. However, the program does operate a bit differently than our GSM based “BYOD” program.

This user manual will walk you through all the processes associated with our CDMA based “Bring Your Own Sprint Device” program.

We will be covering:

Renewal Process is now in place for CDMA. Customers can refill/Topup anytime before expiration date, and the Topup amount will be applied directly to the main account balance. On the expiration date, the system will check the balance for the rateplan cost, and if sufficient, will renew the current plan for another cycle.

Expired Accounts

If an account expires, when the next Topup is made, as long as it is enough for the plan cost, the system will automatically renew the previous plan.

This Note means that something has been changed on the account, or the Customer has called in during the past week:

CDMA POC Swaps Sprint has separate device databases for its retail network and resale network to protect the company from retail customers buying a

subsidized device and activating it elsewhere. The resale database is referred to as the PLBL database.

In order for us to activate an eligible CDMA device it must be converted from the retail database to the PLBL database. We are able to do this conversion through the dealer portal using the POC Swap Tool.

Step 1

Click on the Sprint POC Swap, under the ‘Actions’ tab. Screen shots below:

Step 2

Enter the device’s MEID or ESN and select which type of device it is. Then click “Submit”.

** Either the Hex or Decimal format of an MEID/ESN can be entered **

LTE Process- Extra Step Required! If the device type is LTE, and the SIM chip is NOT embedded, you need to enter the UICC/ICCID number on this screen. When you click on the ‘Removable SIM Card’ button, the ICCID field will open up, and you can enter it there.

Step 3

If the POC Swap was successful, you will see one of the screens below:

You will receive the “SUCCESS” message above. Within this message will be an Activation Code. This code will be required to activate the device. (For security reasons

the activation code in this example has been partially hidden)

** You must write down this code. It is required to activate the device. **

If the POC Swap was unsuccessful, you will receive one of the Error Messages below. To the right of the Error Message you will find a description and possible resolution to the error. Error Message

Configuring Data/MMS Settings The network usually configures data settings automatically. If not, there are other manual processes you can use. See Update Profile below. Handsets must be manually configured for MMS to work. To configure the MMS, you will need the MSL code listed on the customer’s account.

Porting Tips MDN, SIM and Phone Port EligibilityInfo

The Number you are porting MUST be in an 'Active' status with your Customer's current carrier, aka OSP (Old Service Provider) or the port will not process.

Some numbers are not eligible for porting, and in these cases you will receive an ineligible error upon the port request submittal. In the event the Customer clears up the ineligible status, a new port request must be submitted.

If a new MDN is activated to the device, and the Dealer or customer realizes they really needed a port, a new, a dummy MEID will be necessary to complete the port, or we will need to cancel the new number that was activated in error. If a port is submitted, and the MEID entered for that port is activated while the port is in process, the port activation piece will fail, until a new MEID is provided for the port request.

Once a port is submitted, you cannot update any OSP info until the OSP responds. In a case where OSP info such as account or pwd is entered incorrectly, and you/the customer realizes it was entered incorrectly, you must wait for the OSP to send a Resolution Required (Info is incorrect, did not pass OSP validation). MEID will be checked for lost/stolen flag (blacklisted) upon activation to the network. If it comes back blacklisted, the port will fail.

OSP info

Please carefully review all of the information you are entering for a port. If any information does not match what the Customer's OSP has on record, the port validation will fail, and they will deny the port.

All Port IN field information is required. In the case of porting from a wireless carrier, the carriers typically validate on account number and password, but name and address is still required, although likely not used. A good rule of thumb is try and get the most accurate info, even though it may not be necessary information for the port validation process. Any Balance remaining on the Customer's account with their OSP will NOT carry over to your new Real Mobile account, even though it will be the same phone number.

Port IN check status

Port Status Description

If you have a contract with your old service provider, you may be responsible for an Early Cancellation Fee, or other fees, mandated by the contract. Please check with your old service provider before porting your number, if you are unsure of these terms. Distributors can see their dealers Port INs via the port worklist in the DP. Dealers can see their dealers and clerks Port INs the port worklist in the DP.

Distributor, Dealers can update any of their port INs that are in Resolution Required via the Port IN worklist. (Note only Resolution Required can be updated with new information). SUBMITTED='S' o Port has been submitted, and waiting for OSP response. 15-20 minutes after initial submittal, Real Mobile can check port worklist for an updated status. o No changes to port can be made to the port request in this status. DELAY='D' o OSP has not responded yet. CONFIRMED='C' o Port is complete. RESOLUTION='R o OSP Information given is not correct. Validate info with customer/have customer call OSP to get correct info. o Once updated info is received from customer, Dealer can update the port request via the DP port IN worklist. REJECTED='X' o Port has been rejected. If this response is received again, the number cannot be ported. CANCELED='N' o Port has been cancelled. o Carrier will cancel a stagnant port 30 days from last stagnant status. If this happens, a new port must be submitted. CONFLICT='T' o Contact Ztar Tier3 support DENIED='N' o Contact Ztar Tier3 support ERROR='E' o Port errored out, Contact Ztar Tier3 support. likely cause, SIM already used

Port In Worklist Step 1 Click on ‘Actions’, and Select ‘Port-In Worklist’

Step 2 Select Your Port by clicking on the row. Note: You can see the PRN (Port Request Number), the MDN (Phone Number), Status (See Porting Tips for Status details) , Last Update (Status Date).

This will bring up detailed info on the port.  If the port is in Resolution Required, this means the OSP (Old Service Provider) says the Account, Password, or other info is not correct. This is the only status where you can update the port info (correct the wrong info).  To see What info is wrong, just click in the Note field where it says Status Changed, and Text says “Request status updated to RESOLUTION REQUIRED: Reason…..”

To correct info on a Resolution Required port, just type over the current info, and Click ‘Update Request’

Once a Port is ‘CONFIRMED’, the mobile number can be pulled up in the Dealer Portal main screen, to see customer balances, etc..  If a Port goes to ‘Error’ or ‘Rejected’ status, you can also see notes on why that happened in that same notes section. If you think the issue is something that can be fixed by using a different SIM, or the issue has been resolved on the OSP, you can contact care at 800325-1960 for assistance with updating the port. Sometimes, you may have to Submit a new port for these statuses.
