ABSTRACT:
A telecommunications system handles 800 calls between first and second networks in different countries. In the preferred embodiment, call handling equipment of the second network receives a call from a call origin in the first network, wherein the call was placed using an 800 number corresponding to a destination in the second network and wherein the second network includes interexchange carriers and local exchange carriers. Preferably, the call is received in call handling equipment of one of the interexchange carriers and carried to the destination by the interexchange carrier to which the 800 number is assigned. In one embodiment, the call is reoriginated after receipt by the call handling equipment of a local exchange carrier which routes the call to the assigned interexchange carrier. Billing charges are assessed to the origin for international toll charges and to the destination for 800 toll charges in the second network.
