Resolving MPE errors

An MPE error is another type of fallout that needs to be addressed to allow the port to move forward. MPE errors do not show as a Port In Port Response because they are not sent by the OSP. These error messages are sent either from the billing system or by Syniverse.

How to find the error message

In Samson, an MPE error will display in one of three (3) ways:

  • General Error
  • First Level Validation Failed
  • GENERAL NOTIFICATION

To find the exact error message:

  • Click the response in the Port Status tab so that it is highlighted in blue.
  • Click Notification from the left menu bar.
  • Review the Message Description. If the entire message cannot be seen, copy and paste the description into your scratch pad to view the entire message.

Resolve MPE errors

Follow the steps below to resolve the MPE error. If you encounter an error that is not listed and you are unsure how to resolve, reach out to your CSM or PDA.
