ABSTRACT:
A first network element receives a call and transfers the telephone number. A route manager processes the number to select a second network element. The route manager transfers a query to the HLR to determine if the home MSC is serving the number. If the home MSC is serving the number, the route manager selects a first route from the second network element to the home MSC. If the home MSC is not serving the number, the route manager transfers a second query to the VLR to determine if the visiting MSC is serving the number. If the visiting MSC is serving the number, the route manager selects a second route from the second network element to the visiting MSC. The first network element routes the call to the second network element, and the second network element routes the call over the selected one of the first and second routes.
