This invention relates to arrangements for eliminating loop-around trunks for operational calls. Such trunks are used when a single switch performs two distinct functions, such as local service and operator assistant service. In order to simplify software, the software for each of these functions is designed separately; in the prior art, if both functions are needed, two separate connections are established and are joined by the use of a loop-around trunk. In accordance with Applicant's invention, the loop-around trunk is eliminated by initially establishing a connection from a real time-slot to a virtual time-slot for the first function and from a virtual time-slot to a real time-slot for the second function; the real time-slots for receiving the call and for transmitting the call to an inter-office trunk are then connected in the switch without requiring the use of a separate loop-around trunk.
