A number of options are presented that allow you to create new entries, and delete or change existing data. A comprehensive help system is provided to guide you along if you have difficulty. Although not all of the above services have priority access capability at this time, such numbers should be identified for future implementation and to identify restoration priority. Once you have made the necessary changes and entered your data, it will be made available to the appropriate telephone service provider for entry or update of their records. The telcos also have access to the system, but with additional features to allow them to filter for the numbers they manage and to download the information in a common data format.
Security is maintained.
The telco only sees a list of numbers with no associated names or identification. A report is provided for all users that identifies the download activity of each telco in the system. Priority is available on the incumbent wired telephone network throughout Canada. It attempts to ensure that those identified will be able to obtain dial tone from their local switch. It does not guarantee that a call will be completed, as this may involve inter-switch connections that may or may not be congested or out of service.
