Hi Jonathan,
Interesting topic!
There will be 3 aspects to consider when this is eventually detailed as an API spec.
1. Reservation of the resource will happen during Order Capture as you mentioned. If we treat the MSISN and IMSI as RS (and they should be treated as RS -Logical), the Order Capture APIs will have to be extended beyond the PS into the RS.
2. Do we do the pairing during Order Capture? If yes, what if the Order is not submitted? fire an Unpair? Hence suggest that pairing be part of Orchestration
3. Lifecycle management of the resources. If reservation is triggered as part of No.1, and the Order is submitted, then the MSISDN - IMSI pairing and the Resource allocation (reservation done was only a soft allocation) need to be done as part of Order Orchestration during the Fulfillment (before the orchestration triggers the 641).
So, while a separate API for MSISDN, IMSI management during the order journey is helpful, request to consider the fitment and calling of this API within the e2e process.
Regards,
Jag

Thanks Ronald
Anthony - the use case is available here
It mainly concerns the provisioning of services and resources, I think Anthony is more interested in the resource management aspects during order capture. But the current use cases for order capture deal with fiber, not with mobile or fixed voice. So there is still work to do there.

Hi Anthony,
In Use Case 008 of IG1228 (section 6.2), we considered those APIs in the context of mobile number management. I am not sure it qualifies as "serious evaluations" as we have not implemented the use case in actual software.
Best regards,

Hi All,
does anybody know of any practical examples/implementations where these APIs have been seriously evaluated for use with mobile number management including pairing/unpairing of MSISDN and SIM/IMSI as well as reservations, change MSISDN, change SIM, management of number pools, vanity numbers and the other mobile use cases?
Thanks
Tony
