CenturyLink Easy Access - Residence and Business - V15.0

History Log

Product Description

CenturyLink Easy Access is an Advanced Intelligent Network (AIN) product that is an abbreviated dialing code (*98). It is designed to dial the retrieval number of the end-user's Voice Mail Response Unit.

CenturyLink Easy Access operates by dialing an abbreviated code of *98 from the line that the feature is programmed on. It automatically dials the local or toll free number that is pre-programmed. This is done through AIN technology.

If an end-user has multiple lines and would like Easy Access on more than one line, the service must be added to each line.

Lines with CenturyLink Voice Messaging (USOC SQAV2):

  • The service will be provided at no charge as an added benefit for end-users in available areas on any compatible line that has a MDS or MDSI CenturyLink Voice Messaging Mailbox or Transfer Mailbox. This USOC will be automatically system generated.

    NOTE: CenturyLink may convert the USOC SQAV2 to the USOC SQAVX in certain number porting situations to ensure the end-user is forwarded to the correct Central Office.

Lines without CenturyLink Voice Messaging (USOC SQAVX):

  • The service may be provided at a charge for lines that do not have a Message Delivery Service (MDS) or MDS CenturyLink Voice Messaging Mailbox USOC, but do have compatible service in an AIN available switch and a desire to speed dial a number with *98.
