To avoid rejections:

  • Provide correct end users that are registered with the losing carrier. 
  • Provide the correct numbers mentioned on the LOA as per the configuration provided by the losing carrier.
  • Obtain agreement of number release with the current carrier.
  • Obtain valid documentation from the end user.
