Customer Support
Will there be any changes to customer support? If so, what will they be?
The KORE Support Desk is improved by offering the ability to open trouble tickets directly via the Support link in the navigation menu of PRiSMPro and providing details on your issue or question.
On the back end, the trouble ticketing system is migrating from Salesforce.com to Zendesk in an effort to better service our customers.
Will my trouble ticket history be migrated or be accessible?
Your historical (closed) trouble ticket history will be maintained, but it will be archived on the former back-end system. To access historical, closed, trouble tickets, you will need to call Support or open a trouble ticket request using the Support link in the navigation menu of PRiSMPro and providing details on the historical trouble ticket for which you are seeking information.
Will all of my company’s current open trouble tickets be migrated?
All current, open trouble tickets will remain open and will continue to be processed but will not be available via the PRiSMPro Support Ticketing System. Customers with open tickets seeking updates will have to call into Support.
Who else in my company should receive training?
The Customer Support numbers and points of contact will change. They are now going to become support@korewireless.com or by calling (North America) (617) 949-8900 or (UK): +44 (0) 203 816 1247.

Billing
How will this transition affect my bill?
Your first PRiSMPro invoice will include prorated charges only for connections that were migrated to PRiSMPro If only a portion of your connections were migrated, you will continue to receive an invoice for those connections that have not been migrated to PRiSMPro. PRiSMPro billing period ends on the 23rd of each month so charges on the invoice will include prorated Monthly Recurring Charges (MRC) from your previous billing period end date until the 23rd of the month. Usage charges will also be prorated.
Will my billing cycle be different?
Yes, once migrated to PRiSMPro, your billing period end date will be on the 23rd of every month going forward.
Will my invoice look different?
Yes, your invoice will look a bit different but we will provide detailed information about all charges. Outstanding balances will also be displayed.
Is there a limit to how often I can change rate plans?
You may change plans as often as you like. All plan changes will take effect at the beginning of the next billing cycle.
Will my pricing change?
Your price plan rates should not change but in an effort to simplify our plan structure, you might see an upgrade in a plan bundle size for no additional cost.
Does this migration affect my contract in any way?
No. The same terms and conditions apply after you are migrated to PRiSMPro unless you have been notified otherwise.
What reporting will I receive with my invoice?
With each invoice, you will receive a detailed SIM Summary and CDR report.
