Abstract: A method and apparatus for routing Application Programming Interface (API) calls from a partner entity to a telephony service provider (TSP) network are provided herein. In some embodiments, a method for routing API calls may include receiving a first message including an API call and a partner API key used to authenticate the partner entity on the TSP network to access a partner API layer disposed on the TSP network, extracting the partner API key from the first message, performing an authentication process to authenticate an identity of the partner entity using at least the extracted partner API key, and routing the first message based on results of the authentication process. In some embodiments, the first message is routed to the partner API layer disposed on the TSP network when the identity of the partner entity is authenticated.

Abstract: Systems and methods for establishing an IP telephone call to a called party's telephony device include attempting to send a call setup request directly to the called party's telephony device, and requesting that a push notification be sent to the called party's telephony device. If the direct request does not reach the called party's telephony device, the push notification will result in the called party's telephony device contacting the IP telephony system to setup the requested call. In some embodiments, the request for a push notification is not sent until the direct request is determined to have failed.

Abstract: Systems and methods for terminating telephony communications to a mobile telephony device that is roaming outside of its native service area make use of a forwarding termination service. The forwarding termination service causes the native mobile telephony service provider that provides service to the mobile telephony device to forward incoming telephony communications directed the native telephone number of the mobile telephony device to a forwarding access number. The forwarding termination service receives telephony communications directed to the forwarding access number, and then terminates the telephony communication to the mobile telephony device via any one of multiple different methods. The mobile telephony service provider can be instructed to implement and cancel call forwarding instructions by dialing a special character string on the mobile telephony device.

Abstract: Systems and methods for identifying and blocking undesired automated calls include checking to determine if more than a predetermined number of calls are received from the same originating telephone number within a certain period of time. If so, information about the calls from the same originating telephone number is analyzed to determine if the calls conform to one or more patterns that indicate the calls are likely undesired automated calls. If so, further calls from the originating telephone number may be blocked.

Abstract: An IP telephony system allows a user to register a telephony device that receives its native telephony service from a different telephony service provider as an extension telephone. The user can then place calls through the IP telephony system using the extension telephone. Such calls may or may not be established using the extension telephone's native telephony service provider.
