VoIP call through tester

A method to verify whether a call has been properly provisioned in a voice over internet protocol network, the method comprising:

• generating an outbound call from a test tool in a voice over internet protocol network, wherein the outbound call includes a destination number;
• routing the outbound call to a public switched telephone network;
• determining whether the outbound call has been placed to the destination number without coming back into the voice over internet protocol network;
• and
• terminating the outbound call based on a determination that the outbound call has been placed to the destination number without coming back into the voice over internet protocol network.

A system for verifying network provisioning, the system comprising:

• a computer, wherein the computer is communicably coupled to a computer readable medium and a first network, and wherein the computer readable medium includes instructions executable by a microprocessor to:
• generate an outbound call, wherein the outbound call includes a test key and a destination number, and wherein the destination number is associated with a communication device accessible to the first network;
• provide the outbound call to a routing resource associated with the first network, wherein the routing resource is operable to direct the outbound call to a second network and to receive the outbound call back from the second network, and wherein the routing resource is further operable to access the test key;
• receive the outbound call from the routing resource;
• and
• make a record indicating whether the outbound call was properly routed based on receiving the outbound call from the routing resource.

A system for verifying provisioned access numbers in a voice over internet protocol network, the system comprising:

• a softswitch associated with a first network, wherein the softswitch is communicably coupled to a test tool, and wherein the softswitch is operable to:
• receive a test call from the test tool, wherein the test call includes a test key and a destination number, and wherein the destination number is associated with a communication device accessible to a first network;
• direct the test call to a second network;
• receive the test call back from the second network;
• access the test key;
• and
• based at least in part on the test key, route the test call to the test tool.
