Systems and methods for telephone number provisioning and telephony management

A system for telephone number provisioning, comprising:

• one or more network interfaces configured to provide access to one or more networks;
• one or more processors coupled to the one or more network interfaces, the one or more processors to execute instructions to:
• facilitate a user interface configured to provide access to telephony information, wherein at least some of the telephony information is retained in a telephony information repository;
• process information about a first location specified for an entity and/or an individual;
• determine a region of interest based at least in part on the first location;
• process a set of telephony information retained in the telephony information repository based at least in part on the region of interest;
• determine telephone number inventory corresponding to the region of interest based at least in part on the set of telephony information, the determining the telephone number inventory comprising:
• categorizing at least some of the telephone number inventory according to availability of telephone numbers to determine a first set of telephone numbers, the first set of telephone numbers being available for assignment;
• determine local calling characteristics of the first set of telephone numbers;
• cause indication to the user interface of:
• availability of telephone numbers for assignment within the region of interest based at least in part on the first set of telephone numbers;
• and
• the local calling characteristics of the first set of telephone numbers;
• wherein the user interface presents graphical indicia that distinguishes the local calling characteristics of the first set of telephone numbers;
• and
• one or more storage media coupled to the one or more processors to retain the instructions.

One or more non-transitory, machine-readable media having machine-readable instructions thereon which, when executed by one or more computers or other processing devices, cause the one or more computers or other processing devices to:

• facilitate a user interface configured to provide access to telephony information, wherein at least some of the telephony information is retained in a telephony information repository;
• process information about a first location specified for an entity and/or an individual;
• determine a region of interest based at least in part on the first location;
• process a set of telephony information retained in the telephony information repository based at least in part on the region of interest;
• determine telephone number inventory corresponding to the region of interest based at least in part on the set of telephony information, the determining the telephone number inventory comprising:
• categorizing at least some of the telephone number inventory according to availability of telephone numbers to determine a first set of telephone numbers, the first set of telephone numbers being available for assignment;
• determine local calling characteristics of the first set of telephone numbers;
• cause indication to the user interface of:
• availability of telephone numbers for assignment within the region of interest based at least in part on the first set of telephone numbers;
• and
• the local calling characteristics of the first set of telephone numbers;
• wherein the user interface presents graphical indicia that distinguishes the local calling characteristics of the first set of telephone numbers.
