UNE-P for Plain Old Telephone Service (POTS)  
Product Overview  
Sprint Unbundled Network Elements–Platform (UNE-P) services are combinations of Unbundled  
Network Elements (UNE) provided to Competitive Local Exchange Carriers (CLEC). UNE-P Plain  
Old Telephone Service (POTS) service is designed to allow the CLEC to offer the functional  
equivalent of Sprint comparable retail residential and single line business service offerings.  
Sprint UNE-P POTS service provides the CLEC with end-to-end service over the Sprint network  
and includes access to all of the features and functionality the local switch is capable of providing.  
UNE-P POTS is available where facilities exist throughout Sprint local service territory.  
Product Description  
UNE-P POTS is the combination of the following UNE’s:  
Ø 2-wire analog voice grade loop – single-line business (B1) or residential (R1)  
Ø Network Interface Device (NID)  
Ø Analog line-side switch port  
Ø Local Switching Originating Minutes of Use (MOU)  
Ø Shared Transport and Tandem Switching Originating MOU  
Ø Optional switch-based features  
The CLEC may convert Sprint retail end users or CLEC resale POTS service to UNE-P POTS  
service or request UNE-P POTS service as new installation for end users.  
Optional Switch-Based Features  
A complete list of the optional switch-based features, feature descriptions, Service and Equipment  
(SAE) codes, Universal Service Order Codes (USOC) and pricing information is provided on the  
UNE-P Products and Services Matrix. This matrix also includes a list of the optional switch-based  
features that are not available to order with UNE-P. Contact your local account manager for a copy  
of the matrix for each desired state.  
The CLEC should follow the Bona Fide Request (BFR) process when requesting switch-based  
features inherent to the switch but are not currently offered by Sprint.  
The application of rates for optional switch-based features is dependent on the state where the  
UNE-P service is provided. The guidelines for the application of rates for optional switch-based  
features for POTS are as follows:  
Ø Nevada and New Jersey - all available optional switch-based features like Custom Calling  
Features (CCF), Custom Local Area Signaling Services (CLASS) and Toll Restriction services  
are included in the UNE port rates. These services are limited to those features and  
functions the local switch is currently capable of providing.  
Ø North Carolina - all available optional switch-based features like CCF, CLASS and Toll  
Restriction services are individually rated and are in addition to the UNE Port rate. These  
services are limited to those features and functions the local switch is currently capable of  
providing.

Optional Switch-Based Features (Continued)  
Ø All Other States - Florida, Indiana, Kansas, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, Ohio, Oregon,  
Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Virginia, Washington and Wyoming – rates  
apply to available optional switch-based features as follows:  
·
CCF and Toll Restriction - a single rate is applied to one or more CCF and Toll  
Restriction services ordered per UNE port. These rates are in addition to the UNE  
port rate. These services are limited to those features and functions the local switch  
is currently capable of providing.  
·
CLASS – a single rate is applied to one or more CLASS services ordered per UNE  
port. These rates are in addition to the UNE port rate. These services are limited to  
those features and functions the local switch is currently capable of providing.  
The CLEC may order any equivalent switch-based feature that is made available in the local Sprint  
tariff. The availability of switch-based features may be limited by capabilities of the individual Sprint  
central office, in addition not all switch-based features can be provided on the same single line.  
Tables 1 and 2 below provide a list of the most common CCF and CLASS feature SAE codes. In  
addition, CLASS features include deny capability for Pay-Per-Use (PPU) features, such as repeat  
dialing. Refer to the UNE-P Products and Services Matrix for a complete list of CCF and CLASS  
features.
