Abstract:
Methods and systems for dynamic selection of an originating identifier for billing optimization are provided herein. In some embodiments, a method for dynamic selection of an originating identifier for billing optimization may include receiving from a device associated with a user a first communication request containing a first identifier; determining a second identifier from a plurality of identifiers associated with the user, wherein determination of the second identifier is based on a billing rate associated with the first identifier and the second identifier; and transmitting a second communication request to establish a communication using the first identifier as a destination number and the second identifier as an originating number.
Abstract:
An IP telephony system allows users of the IP telephony system to register extension telephony devices with the IP telephony system. An extension telephony device is one that is provided with service by a separate telephony service provider. Once an extension telephony device is registered, a user can obtain communications services from the IP telephony system using the extension telephony device. An extension telephony device may be tied to a user's main telephony services account with the IP telephony system such that when the user obtains communications services from the IP telephony system using an extension telephony device, the user will be billed for those communications services through the user's main account.
