Please note that line rental for numbers beginning with a standard French area code can only be transferred to ACN. Line rental for numbers beginning with 087 or 096 cannot be transferred to ACN
ACN Line Rental is currently only available for analogue lines. ISDN lines or fully unbundled access lines cannot be transferred at this time
If line rental is requested for numbers beginning with 087 or 096, ISDN lines or fully unbundled access lines, the order will be rejected, and this may have a severe effect on the customer’s current service

15. Provisioning Process
The application process and activation for ACN’s Line Rental service takes approximately 13 working days
The customer will receive a confirmation letter from his/her current provider that the service is being transferred to Verizon (this is the same as confirming that the service is being transferred to ACN as ACN has partnered with Verizon in order to provide line rental)
ACN will then send the customer a Welcome Package with all the information the customer needs to take full advantage of our service

16. Directory Enquiries
When transferring Line Rental to ACN, your customer's current provider will automatically delete the customer’s entry for the universal phone book and enquiry services. ACN will re-enter basic details for business customers, but we will not enter any details for residential customers. For all customers we will provide basic contact details to the Emergency Services. A form will be included in the ACN Welcome Package that customers can complete to have their details re-entered in the universal phone book and enquiry services, and also select how their personal information is displayed and used
