VoIP Enhanced Local and Local Inbound support

Using Control Center, you can manage Lumen® VoIP Enhanced Local (ELS) and Lumen® Local Inbound (LI) services. VoIP Enhanced Local service includes inbound and outbound calling and enhanced 911 (E911); supports inbound and outbound traffic for two‑way calling, with directory listing, directory assistance, caller ID, CNAM customer name database, and line information database (LIDB). Local Inbound is a geo‑independent VoIP solution and supports one‑way, inbound traffic only, with no supported features, though it can be set up with an outbound trunk to support outbound calls.
