A “presubscribed line” is a line automatically routed to the Company for Long Distance Service pursuant to Customer’s selection.

 

A “multi-line business line” is a business line purchased from Company by Customer enabled via switched access for the purpose of carrying Customer’s telecommunication outbound service traffic, excluding Centrex Lines, Direct Inward Dial (DID) Lines and PRI lines.

 

A “Centrex line” is a presubscribed line used by Customer to access Company service via Local Exchange Carrier‑provided Centrex.

 

A “PRI line” is a presubscribed line used by the Customer to access Company service via Local Exchange Carrier-provided Primary Rate Interface (PRI).

 

The line-type determination is based upon Customer’s certification or Local Exchange Carrier–provided information.  Lines which are not identified by Customer certification or LEC-provided information will be classified as multi-line business lines.  The CAC will be waived for lines on which local exchange service is provided by an MCI Legacy Company.

 

The CAC will not be eligible to receive promotional or any other discounts.
