Complete-A-Call - V9.0
Product Description
Complete-A-Call, also referred to as Directory Assistance Complete-A-Call, or Directory Assistance Call Completion (DACC). Complete-A-Call is is a Directory Assistance (DA) service whereby the DA operator or the DA audio response system offers end-users local and local long distance call completion to requested numbers. After DA provides the end-user with the telephone number they requested, the end-user is transferred to that telephone number. This eliminates the need for the caller to write down the telephone number provided by DA, hang up and dial the obtained telephone number.
When calling DA, an announcement will usually be given to the end-user.

In states where a charge applies, a touchtone telephone is required in order for an end-user to interact with the Complete-A-Call Voice Response Unit (VRU).
Complete-A-Call is available for Intra Local Access and Transport Area (IntraLATA) DA requests only.
If Complete-A-Call results in the caller being passed to a local long distance telephone number, long distance charges apply.
Complete-A-Call Blocking allows end-users to call DA to obtain listing information but prevents the Complete-A-Call announcement from being heard.
Lines/trunks that do not have an associated telephone number (TN) do not require Complete-A-Call Blocking; e.g., lines/trunks in a Multi-Line Hunt group and Private Branch Exchange (PBX) stations.
Businesses such as Hotels, Motels and Hospitals should be advised to determine which lines should have the Complete-A-Call feature. All other lines should have Complete-A-Call blocking to prevent undesired usage and long distance charges.
Complete-A-Call Blocking:
- Is established and removed at no charge.
- May be offered to eliminate unwanted Complete-A-Call activity.
- Is provisioned via the FID BLKD (Block Directory Assistance Request), which is floated behind the line USOC that is to be blocked.
NOTE: The BLKD FID should not be used when Long Distance Restriction or CustomNet™ is on the account because these long distance-blocking products are already include in Complete-A-Call blocking.
Availability
Complete-A-Call is available throughout CenturyLink QC except in ID-N.
Complete-A-Call may be available on DSS if the trunks are Basic (T2D++) analog/line side terminated, the serving CO switch is provisioned properly and state tariffs permit.
