Update
Line forwarding has still not been removed yet, so the main campus line and emergency line are still forwarding to a Dispatch cell phone. All other lines are functioning properly at this time.

Monitoring
After both cards were replaced by Frontier techs, both inbound and outbound calling for our voice services (including toll free) is now working once again. CenturyLink is removing the temporary line forwarding and technicians are testing services.

Update
Our local carrier (Frontier Communications) is on-site in Biola’s datacenter now. They have verified that our entire circuit is down and they are enlisting help from Frontier’s Transport Team for escalated assistance.

Update
Update: Circuit trouble has been isolated to the local carrier. They are now engaged in investigation and possible repair. We expect to receive a new update within one to two hours per CenturyLink.
Biola's main campus phone number and emergency number have been forwarded to a backup phone line so Campus Safety can still receive calls to the university.

Update
Update: Phone services are still down, and troubleshooting is still happening by the carriers. We are awaiting an update from CenturyLink.
User impact: users would see that all inbound and outbound local, toll, and international calling is down, but internal extension calling is up.
