REGISTRATION
Telecommunications Carriers, Service Providers, and Billing Aggregators must register with the Montana Public Service Commission.
All providers of telecommunications services in Montana are required by state law to register with the PSC. If you are a telecommunications carrier you will also need to register as a service provider if you forward the charge for your product or service to a billing aggregator or billing agent. If you are a telecommunications carrier providing your own billing you do not need to register as a service provider.
Service providers and billing aggregators must register with the Montana PSC as a prerequisite for billing Montana telephone accounts. A service provider is any entity, other than the billing agent, that offers a product or service to a customer, the charge for which appears on the bill of a billing agent. A billing aggregator is any entity, other than a service provider, that forwards the charge for a product or service offered by a service provider to a billing agent. Billing aggregators and billing agents may not provide billing services for a service provider unless the service provider is registered with the PSC. The PSC may revoke the registration of a billing aggregator that bills for an unregistered service provider. Similarly, a billing agent must verify that a billing aggregator is registered with the PSC in order to include that billing aggregator’s charges on Montanans’ telephone bills. Billing aggregators and billing agents will find lists of registered billing aggregators and service providers on the Montana PSC website.
To submit your online registration, click here, login to or sign up for REDDI, select "New" from the navigation pane on the left-hand side of the page, and then click "Registration". Please note if you are a service provider or billing aggregators you will need to submit a paper registration according to the instructions on the online registration.
If you have any questions about registering in Montana, please e-mail PSCRegisterTcom@mt.gov, or call 1-800-646-6150.
