This Desk Reference supports the Self-Installing Dealer (SID) audience. This document covers entering an
order that includes new Exede 12 Internet service, and Exede Voice home phone service.
Follow the Updating Exede 12 with Exede Voice Desk Reference to update an existing Exede 12 Internet
service with the Exede Voice home phone service.
Gathering Information before placing an Order
Before beginning to enter an order that includes Exede Voice, a SID must gather information from three
sources:
1. From the Service Availability Tool in the Support Portal, the dealer must confirm that the beam is
open for sales, and that ViaSat 1 is the satellite.
2. From exede.com, the dealer uses the Plan Selector Tool to qualify the Customer for the best Exede
12 plan, based on the ways the Customer currently uses the Internet.
3. From the TN Availability Tool, the dealer must determine whether Exede Voice supports the
Customer’s telephone rate center.
Dealers cannot rely on the Serviceability page on the Orders tab to provide this information.
Service Availability Tab
Follow these steps to determine whether the beam is open for sales, and confirm that ViaSat-1 is the satellite.
Step
Action
1.
Log into the Dealer Support Portal with your Self-installing Dealer ID and password.

Action (continued)
3.
Using the full, USPS-approved street
address for the service location,
complete this form. This must include
the Zip code, and preferably, Zip+4.
Leave the Satellite field as ‘unspecified’.
Click Check Availability.
4.
The results appear. Check the line ‘Is
Service Available’. The answer must be
‘yes’. Check the line ‘Satellite’. It must
show ‘ViaSat-1’.
These two responses mean that Exede
12 service is available; therefore, Exede
Voice is likely available in that area.
Note: Exede Voice is not available in
Hawaii or Alaska.

The Plan Selector Tool
The Plan Selector Tool is part of the zip code search available on www.exede.com. This tool has several
benefits: it matches the Customer’s current activities to the best Exede Internet plan; and it is designed
for use while the Customer is in the sales room. Selecting the right plan is critical to creating a valuable
relationship between you, the Customer, and ViaSat. Follow these steps:
Step
Action
1.
Open www.exede.com with your
browser. On the Home page, look for
the Zip Code field. It often moves
around the page, but usually reads
Check Availability in your area.
2.
Type the Customer’s Zip Code and click Go.
3.
The results show whether Exede 12 is
available in that area.
Find the Which plan is right for you?
bar, and click the + sign.
Remember! Exede 12 is the only
service level that supports Exede
Voice, so if the zip code search results
show anything else, Exede Voice is not
available in that area.

The Plan Selector presents
three categories of activities.
Use the questions in each
category to guide a
conversation with the
Customer. Select the best
response for each category,
and then click Submit.
Each category becomes
available when a selection is
made in the previous categoy.
5.
The Plan Selector Tool
provides a Recommended
plan, and a Next Best plan.
Review these with the
Customer and help them make
a decision.
Telephone Number Availability (TN Availability)
ViaSat offers the Exede Telephone Number Availability Tool to help dealers identify whether Exede Voice
supports a given rate center. This tool is also called TN Availability. This tool also offers information as to
whether an existing number may be ported to Exede Voice.
Note: A rate center is the geographical area used by telephone companies for billing purposes. It is the
combination of a given area code and 3-digit prefix. For example, Area Code 518 and Prefix 394 make up
the Amsterdam, NY rate center.

Important! Dealers must use this tool for every Exede Voice order, as the correct rate center must be
manually added to the order. Follow these steps to use the TN Availability Tool.
Step
Action
1.
Go to the Sales & Marketing Tab (in
the Support Portal), and click the
Retail Dealers Desk References
menu. Click the TN Availability button.
The Telephone Number Availability
page for Exede Voice opens.
2.
Type the Customer’s current phone
number into the phone number field,
and click Submit.
Important! Use landline numbers, not
cell phone numbers.

Step
3.
Action (continued)
The results will be either ‘Yes’
or ‘No’.
If Yes, gather the Rate Center
information.
If the Customer wishes to port
this existing number, they may
do so. See section Porting a
Number below.
4.
If the result is No, this means
two things:


That the existing number
cannot be ported into Exede
Voice, and the Customer
will have to get a new
phone number.
That the new phone number
will not be a local number.
Can the Customer still order
Exede Voice? YES, with a
caveat.
The dealer may search for other
nearby rate centers, and check
whether Exede Voice might be
available. Using a nearby rate
center means that inbound calls
are charged long distance rates
to the caller.
Exede Voice Customers will
not be affected by using a
nearby rate center; however,
their friends and family might
be.
How do I find nearby rate
centers? Try the area code and
prefix for a nearby large city, or
use Google to find other nearby
prefixes.

center. If this situation applies to you: (i) ViaSat will not be able to
transfer ("port") your current telephone number to our Exede Voice
service and we will have to provide you with a new phone number,
and (ii) ViaSat will not be able to provide a local telephone number
to the rate center associated with your home address. This means
that after we activate your Exede Voice service, certain calls to you
from within your telephone rate center may be long distance calls
for the caller (the person calling you). Long-distance calling to the
United States and Canada is included in your Exede Voice service at
no additional charge, and so this situation will only affect certain
inbound calls to you and will not affect your outbound calls.

Customer without a current landline phone number
If a Customer does not have a current phone number, follow these suggestions to determine the best rate
center for their service address. For example, the Customer is new to the area, or they have only cell phone
numbers.
Step
1.
Action
To find the local rate center, enter any LOCAL phone number for a neighbor, church/school,
or business that is geographically close to the Customer’s service location.


Use an Internet search to find these nearby phone numbers.
Use landline numbers, not cellular
Over time, create a list of rate centers in the areas where you sell.

Order > Add Customer Tab
Now the Dealer is ready to enter the Order for Exede Voice (and Exede Internet). Go to the Support Portal,
and click the Orders tab. Follow these steps to enter a Sales Order. The process involves completing eight (8)
forms, using information gathered from Service Availability, The Plan Selector Tool, TN Availability, and the
Customer.
Tip! It is best to have the Customer available, when entering the order for two reasons:


they can confirm the address information
they can provide payment information directly, without the dealer writing it down.
Writing down payment information, and then disposing of the information incorrectly, may be a PCI/DSS
compliance violation.
Step
1.
Action
After logging into the Dealer Support Portal with your Self-Installing Dealer ID and password, click
the Orders tab, and confirm that the Add Customer tab is highlighted (dark blue)
The Progress bar shows the Serviceability page highlighted (light blue). The Progress bar may be
used to return to a previous page, but it does not allow the dealer to jump forward in the Order Entry
process.

In the Transaction Info box, do the following:
1. Confirm the Transaction type is New Connect.
2. Add a Referral Source, if necessary
a. If entering a DirecTV bundle order, add DTV-DTV ACCT Number-DTV Corp
ID as directed in the Desk Reference DTV/Exede Bundle Order Entry Desk
Reference.
Remember! To use the DTV/Exede Bundle, the dealer must also be an authorized DirecTV
dealer.
See image below.
2.
In the Service/Installation Info box, do the following:
1. Type the Customer's First, Middle Initial, Last Names, and Suffix (if required)
2. Type the Customer's USPS-standardized street address of the location where the
service will be installed.
a. Do not use a P.O. box.
b. Do not use an address that is made-up, 'close enough' etc.
3. Type the Customer's City, State, Zip+4, primary and secondary (if desired) phone
numbers.
4. Type the email address the Customer wants as his/her contact email.
a. This may be an existing email address. ViaSat strongly recommends this.
b. If it is to be the new @exede.net or @wildblue.net email address, check No
email address box. Important! Inform the Customer that they cannot receive
communications from us until they complete their account setup.
5. Type the Customer's Birthdate.
6. Click Next to move the order forward; click Start Over to clear the forms.
Note: Required fields have a small red asterisk to the right of the field box.
See image below.
3.
The address is verified as a USPS standardized address.


If minor changes are needed to standardize the address, the system automatically
makes these changes. For example: 555 Ravenna Blvd, 98125, might be changed to
555 NE Ravenna Blvd, 98125-6427.
If the address is not recognized, the system presents a page with alternative
addresses. If alternatives are not presented, then verify the address using the US
Postal Service Zip Code Lookup link. This link opens the USPS Zip Code web site,
where the dealer and Customer may work on the address to arrive at the
standardized address.
o If the USPS Zip Code web site is unable to locate the Customer’s correct
address, it is very unlikely that the Customer’s site may receive Exede
service. The order should not be entered.

these situations, the Dealer must use good business judgment in deciding whether
the person will be a good customer for ViaSat. Complete the order if appropriate.
If no, confirm that the information was entered correctly, specifically the street
address and the birthdate, and try again.

Additional Steps to Confirm the Order
As a best practice, ViaSat strongly recommends that the dealer confirm that the order has been fully completed
in the Dealer Portal. The Order Management sub-tab (next to the Add Customer sub-tab) may be used for this
purpose. These steps may also be used in when an error appears on the Confirmation page.

After the Confirmation appears with a green border, which states that the order was
accepted, return to the Home page of the Dealer Portal.

From the Search Results list, click the link in the WildBlue Account # column. This loads
the Customer into the Dealer Portal context. All tabs in the Dealer Portal now show
information about this specific account.

Porting a Number
To port a number, the Customer follows these steps AFTER the Exede Voice service is activated. Dealers do
not port numbers. Dealers retain all commissions on accounts with ported numbers since they entered the
original order for Exede Voice service.
Step
Action
1.
The TN Availability Tool must report a ‘yes’ when the existing number is submitted. If it
reports ‘no’, then the number cannot be ported.
2.
Review these additional requirements with the Customer if they wish to port a number.
These requirements reduce the number of errors when the porting request is made.

3.
The number must be active. Do not disconnect the number with the current service
provider (e.g. Verizon, CenturyLink, etc.) before submitting the porting request.
A number cannot be ported if a "freeze", "carrier freeze" or similar restriction exists for
the number.
All Distinctive Ring options on the line must be deactivated prior to porting. The
Customer contacts the current service provider for assistance.
If the porting request is for a wireless number, the Customer must have the Account
and PIN numbers for that wireless account when making the request. The Customer
contacts the current service provider for assistance.
The Customer should also note the name, address and zip code for the Exede Voice
account, and be sure to use the same information when making the porting request.
The Customer calls 855-627-1182 to request the number port. The date of the port will be
negotiated with the Customer, but will take place during normal business hours.
Note: The new number selected during the order entry is disconnected by Customer Care as
part of the porting process. The Customer does not need to take any additional action for
this to occur. This means, however, that there may be a few hours during the port when
incoming calls may not complete if someone has tried to call the new number selected during
order entry.
FSM

Work Order Assignment in FSM (Scheduling) Desk Reference for details.
