Lumen (CenturyLink): FCC docket 25-170
Lumen (CenturyLink) has asked the FCC for permission to stop offering legacy voice service in Fort Myers Beach, Sanibel Island, Captiva Island, Florida, and certain surrounding areas, as of July 21, 2025.
Nothing stopped this request, so under FCC rules it was approved automatically on July 21, 2025. The phone company still has to notify customers before it changes their service. FCC notice
We matched it to 91 telephone exchanges in 1 state. A filing that covers "portions" of a state doesn't list addresses, so a line in one of these towns may or may not be included.
