Abstract
An approach is provided for using on-network communication services for wireless calls. Dialed digits associated with a call originated from a wireless network are received. It is then determined whether the dialed digits include either a steering digit or a pre-determined prefix. The call is routed according to an abbreviated dialing plan if the steering digit or the pre-determined prefix is present.
Claims24
A method comprising:
- receiving dialed digits associated with a call originated from a wireless network;
- determining whether the dialed digits include either a steering digit or a pre-determined prefix;
- verifying authorization codes and range privileges of the call;
- routing the call according to an abbreviated dialing plan if the steering digit or the pre-determined prefix is present;
- allowing a user who initiated the call to have access to a call portal for managing on-network voice services;
- and
- permitting the user to specify dynamic routing changes, static time-of-day routing or selective routing.
4 more elements
An apparatus comprising:
- a processor configured to receive dialed digits associated with a call originated from a wireless network, and to determine whether the dialed digits include either a steering digit or a pre-determined prefix,
- wherein the processor is configured to verify authorization codes and range privileges of the call,
- wherein the processor is further configured to route the call according to an abbreviated dialing plan if the steering digit or the pre-determined prefix is present;
- and
- wherein the processor is also configured to allow a user who initiated the call to have access to a call portal for managing on-network voice services, said portal permitting the user to specify dynamic routing changes, static time-of-day routing or selective routing.
2 more elements
A method comprising:
- receiving a query from a network switch configured to provide on-network voice services, wherein the query requests routing instructions for a call originating from a wireless network;
- converting, according to an abbreviated dialing plan, a dialed number associated with the call into an on-network number, wherein the call is terminated based on the on-network number and further wherein a user who initiated the call has access to a call portal for managing the on-network voice services;
- verifying range privileges of calls placed by the user;
- and
- permitting the user via the call portal to specify dynamic routing changes, static time-of-day routing or selective routing.
2 more elements
A system comprising:
- a network control point configured to receive a query from a network switch configured to provide on-network voice services, wherein the query requests routing instructions for a call originating from a wireless network;
- the network control point being further configured to convert, according to an abbreviated dialing plan, a dialed number associated with the call into an on-network number and wherein the network control point is further configured to verify range privileges of the call, wherein the call is terminated based on the originating number and the on-network number, and further wherein a user who initiated the call has access to a call portal for managing the on-network voice services;
- said portal permitting the user to specify dynamic routing changes, static time-of-day routing or selective routing.
