General Exchange Tariff (GET) Process for Wholesale Customers - V88.0
Description
The General Exchange Tariff (GET) Process is one avenue for all CenturyLink™ Wholesale customers - whether you operate as a CLEC, Reseller, Internet Service Provider (ISP), system integrator, enhanced service provider, service management company, or other type of service provider - to purchase the telecommunications products and services provided in CenturyLink's retail general exchange tariffs, catalogues, and price lists as well as certain other information/enhanced service commercial offerings.
Products and services ordered through the GET process may be used for administrative purposes or for your re-branding and marketing as elements or components in your end user offerings.
GET customers can locate CenturyLink Retail Products, Rates, and Services at the CenturyLink Retail web page. Please review this information at the Retail site for Small Business and/or Medium-Large Business, then return to the Wholesale GET site to place your order.
