Abstract:
1. A method comprising: receiving, from an egress switch in a first wireless network, a request for instructions for routing a call from a calling party to a called party in a wireline network; performing a lookup to identify a service provider associated with a profile of the called party in a database; generating, when the identified service provider is a same service provider associated with the first wireless network, a first instruction indicating that the egress switch is to route the call to a core network connected to the egress switch via a direct access line, wherein the core network is integrated with the wireline network; generating, when the identified service provider is not the same service provider, a second instruction indicating that the egress switch is to route the call to the wireline network via a network other than the core network; and sending, by a service control point device, the first instruction or the second instruction to the egress switch.
