Apparatus and methods for origination of voice and messaging communication in a network

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium, comprising executable instructions, which when executed by a processor, facilitate performing of operations comprising:

• determining a configuration of communication services for a communication device;
• generating a plurality of pointers for directing the communication services of the communication device;
• transmitting the plurality of pointers to a telephone number mapping server;
• receiving a request from an originating call session control function server for an identity of a termination call session control function server associated with the communication device for a communication session, responsive to the originating call session control function server receiving a first pointer of the plurality of pointers from the telephone number mapping server;
• a
• transmitting one of an identity of the terminating call session control function server or a notification of an unsuccessful identification of the terminating call session control function server to the originating call session control function server, wherein the originating call session control function server transmits the first pointer to the termination call session control function server responsive to receiving the identity, and wherein the originating call session control function server transmits a second pointer of the plurality of pointers that is received from the telephone number mapping server to a gateway server responsive to receiving the notification. wherein the first pointer comprises a session initiation protocol uniform resource identifier associated with the communication device and a second pointer comprises a telephone protocol uniform resource identifier associated with the communication device;
• and
• blocking access to an unauthorized service associated with the notification.

A device, comprising:

• a processor;
• and
• a memory that stores executable instructions that, when executed by the processor, facilitate performance of operations, comprising:
• receiving a session initiation protocol uniform resource identifier from an originating call session control function server;
• and
• initiating a packet-switched communication session with a terminating device according to the session initiation protocol uniform resource identifier, wherein the originating call session control function server receives from a telephone number mapping server a first pointer comprising the session initiation protocol uniform resource identifier associated with the terminating device and a second pointer comprising a telephone protocol uniform resource identifier associated with the terminating device, wherein the originating call session control function server receives one of an identity of a terminating call session control function server or a notification of an unsuccessful identification of the terminating call session control function server, and wherein the originating call session control function server transmits the session initiation protocol uniform resource identifier responsive to receiving the notification, wherein the originating call session control function server transmits the telephone protocol uniform resource identifier of the second pointer to a gateway server responsive to receiving the notification, wherein the session initiation protocol uniform resource identifier of the first pointer identifies a text message service, and wherein the telephone protocol uniform resource identifier of the second pointer identifies a voice service.
