The customer must subscribe to either Toll Free Number Service or Local Number Service.
For each MCI WORLDCOM Contact one-number service call, there are two parties: the "Subscriber" (i.e., the party at whose designated location(s) the MCI WORLDCOM Contact one-number service call terminates) and the "Calling Party" (i.e., the party who places the call).

Basic Routing: Each Subscriber is assigned a MCI WORLDCOM Contact one-number service number for the routing of calls placed by Calling Parties to the Subscriber.

The Subscriber-defined telephone numbers will successively be attempted for call completion. If a busy‑signal or answering machine is detected or if the call does not complete after three rings (or a number of rings specified by the Subscriber), the call will be routed to Final Routing.
2. Scheduled Routing: Permits a Subscriber to pre-establish in priority call routing capabilities based on a Subscriber-defined schedule (e.g., day-of-week, day-of-year, time-of-day) for up to two alternate telephone numbers in the U.S. Mainland, Alaska, Hawaii, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands, Guam, and CNMI for the completion of calls placed by Calling Parties to the Subscriber.

Final Routing: Permits a Subscriber to designate various options for the call routing location. If calls are not completed at any of the Direct Calling alternate numbers, the Calling Party's call will be routed to the Subscriber-defined final routing location.
Override Routing: Permits a Subscriber to override Basic Routing so that the call is routed directly to a location specified by the Subscriber. This feature can be activated and deactivated at any time by the Subscriber. When deactivated, Basic Routing is reactivated.
