Product Listing
Call Rejection - V9.0
Product Description
Call Rejection provides your end user customer the ability to block incoming calls originating from the telephone numbers of designated "unwanted callers". Call Rejection works with most local and some long distance telephone numbers. Incoming calls from the Call Rejection list will be rerouted to a recorded message that indicates that the end user is not accepting calls.
Call Rejection provided to lines originating in 5ESS® or DMS™-100 Advanced Intelligent Network (AIN) capable central offices may be provided using either:
- AIN technology
- Custom Local Area Signaling (CLASS™) (Switch-based) technology
Call Rejection service installed in AIN capable central offices prior to 11-19-07 will use CLASS technology unless or until CenturyLink receives a Local Service Request (LSR) from you to change Call rejection to AIN technology (see ordering section below). Once Call Rejection is migrated from Class technology to AIN technology, it can not be migrated back to CLASS technology. Call Rejection installed on or after 11-19-07 will be provided using AIN technology.
For additional information contact your CenturyLink Service Manager.
