Lumen (CenturyLink): FCC docket 25-160

Lumen (CenturyLink) has asked the FCC for permission to stop offering Local Exchange Service, Operator Service and Directory Assistance, Long Distance Service, Toll Free Service, and Voice Local Services in California, New Jersey, New York, Tennessee and Texas, as of September 16, 2025.

Nothing stopped this request, so under FCC rules it was approved automatically on May 23, 2025. The phone company still has to notify customers before it changes their service. FCC notice

This filing comes from a company that sells lines over another phone company's network, or it names cities or customers rather than telephone exchanges, so we don't match it to town pages. If you buy phone lines from Lumen (CenturyLink), it applies to you; the FCC docket has the full details.
