It's is C&W's policy to allow a reasonable amount of time for renumbering. The policy that was in place when MCI's "logo" was on the network remains the same.

Maybe someone from C&W can address this? Was this a mistake/oversight or has the policy actually changed? ...and while your're at it, can you change the incorrect billing name on our account?
