Abstract: A method and system (11) for quickly changing a subscriber's long distance or local carrier while allowing the subscriber to maintain the same directory number. A preferred carrier code is entered into an interim carrier database (42, 43), and an indicator is activated for communications originating on the subscriber's line (14a). When a communication originating on the subscriber's line (14a) is subsequently received, the carrrier-of-record is retrieved from a subscriber database (44), and the preferred carrier code is retrieved from the interim carrier database (42, 43). The preferred carrier code is compared to the carrier-of-record code. If the preferred carrier code is different than the carrier-of-reord code, the preferred carrier code is used to assign the communication to the preferred carrier. At a later time, the carrier-of-record code in the subscriber database (44) is updated with the subscriber's preferred carrier code. When it is determined that the subscriber's carrier-of-record code is the same as the preferred carrier code, the indicator for the subscriber's line is removed. Once the indicator is removed, the interim carrier database (42, 43) is no longer referenced in the course of routing communications originating on the subscriber's line (14a), and the subscriber's preferred carrier code may be deleted from the interim carrier database (42, 43).

Abstract: A method and system of utilizing advanced intelligent network services for capturing and recording dial-around call information is provided. Dial-around calls are calls directed to a telecommunication services provider other than the services provider designated by the owner or operator of the originating telecommunications device, such as a pay telephone. When a public switched telephone network effects a "dial-around" of a prescribed telecommunication services provider at a pay telephone, accounting records generated by the local telecommunication services provider do not identify that the call originated at a pay telephone. Thus, important billing and asset management data are lost to the pay telephone operator. The method and system of the present invention utilize advanced intelligent network services to recognize dial-around calls and to produce a record for the pay telephone operator which will identify and record billing and utilization information for dial-around calls. The method and system may be used without the need for expensive and time consuming hardware and software retrofit of each local switch through which each pay telephone operator operates. 00000

Abstract translation: 提供了利用高级智能网络服务来捕获和记录拨号呼叫信息的方法和系统。 拨号呼叫是指向电信服务提供商而不是由起始电信设备的所有者或运营商指定的服务提供商的呼叫，例如付费电话。 当公共交换电话网络在付费电话上实现规定的电信服务提供商的“拨号”时，由本地电信服务提供商产生的会计记录不能识别出在付费电话上的呼叫。 因此，重要的计费和资产管理数据丢失给付费电话运营商。 本发明的方法和系统利用高级智能网服务来识别拨号呼叫，并为付费电话运营商生成一个记录，用于识别和记录拨号呼叫的计费和利用信息。 可以使用该方法和系统，而不需要每个付费电话运营商操作的每个本地交换机的昂贵且耗时的硬件和软件改装。 00000
