SureWest VoIP Service Selects Alcatel-Lucent

SureWest announces the deployment of Alcatel-Lucent's IMS-based VoIP for Consumers solution to support its newly launched SureWest Digital Phone VoIP service in the Northern California region. SureWest Communications provides local telephone, long-distance, Internet, wireless, digital TV and commercial high-speed data services in Northern California and in the metropolitan Kansas City area.

IMS makes blended lifestyle services, such as video, interactive gaming, telephony, Push-to-Talk and messaging available from any device and across all networks.

Currently available, SureWest Digital Phone enables SureWest subscribers to use a web-based interface to customize their calling services online, including:
  • Caller ID, Call Waiting with ID, Find Me/Follow Me, sequential ringing, simultaneous ringing and Selective Call Screening, which allows customers to choose what numbers can call in, and more
  • 911/E911 and unlimited local and domestic long distance direct-dial calling from home to anywhere in the United States, with competitive international rates
  • Home alarm system compatibility
  • Ability to retain existing telephone numbers when switching from another provider
