Remote Call Forwarding: Market Expansion Line (MEL)
Expand Your Business Reach without High Capital and Office Costs through Remote Call Forwarding
A local presence in your customer's community sends a message that you're committed to providing service where they need it. A CenturyLink™ Market Expansion Line (MEL) can give you local geographic identity and phone number anywhere you do business—without the need to build out, staff, and maintain additional physical business locations.
Incoming customer calls can be forwarded automatically and transparently from the central office to another number of your choice, whether local, long distance, or toll free. By building out your business footprint without straining your capital budget or managing complex applications, CenturyLink Market Expansion Line helps you capture more opportunities in more places with optimal cost efficiency.

How CenturyLink Market Expansion Line Works
The MEL number has one access (talk path) which allows one in-progress call at a time. Additional talk paths can be ordered to allow additional calls to be forwarded, provided the distant location is equipped to receive them. In MEL configurations where the line is forwarded to an IVR, the IVR needs sufficient port capacity to handle both the anticipated MEL call volume (number of paths) and any other call traffic directly terminating to the end user IVR.
