International origin dependent customized routing of calls to toll-free numbers

A tangible computer-readable storage medium encoded with an executable computer program for routing international calls to a toll-free number of a customer in accordance with a customized routing service and that, when executed by a processor, causes the processor to perform operations, comprising:

• receiving, by an international gateway, a call to the customer's toll-free number, wherein the international gateway populates a calling party number field of the call to the toll-free number originating in a first non-domestic country with at least a first code corresponding to the first non-domestic country;
• receiving, by a network switch, the call from the international gateway based on at least an identification of a carrier associated with the toll-free number;
• receiving, by a customized menu routing platform, the call and the non-domestic call origination data from the network switch,
• wherein the customized menu routing platform:
• stores, in a customized menu routing database server, the routing instructions received from the web server,
• determines a first destination number of the customer for calls to the toll-free number originating in a first non-domestic country, based on the non-domestic call origination data and the stored routing instructions received from the web server, accessible by the customer via a packet switched data network, and
• forwards the first destination number to the network switch for routing the call to the first destination number.

A tangible computer-readable storage medium encoded with an executable computer program for routing international communications and that, when executed by processor, causes the processor to perform operations comprising:

• receiving, from an international network interface via a network node, international communication origination data for an international communication to a communication address of a user;
• receiving user routing instructions from the user via a server;
• storing the received user routing instructions;
• retrieving the stored user routing instructions;
• determining a first destination communication address based on the international communication origination data and the retrieved user routing instructions;
• and
• forwarding the first destination communication address to the network node for routing the international communication to the first destination communication address.
