SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR STAR CODE DIALING

摘要

A system and method that enables callers to dial a subscription code instead of a telephone number to reach a subscriber (110) of the subscription code. The system includes a lookup table (132) that associates the subscription code with the subscriber's telephone's number. The system also uses a routing device (130) that is in communication with the lookup table. The routing device is adapted to receive calls that were initiated by callers using the subscription code. When a call originated by a caller (120) using the subscription code is received by the routing service, the routing device reviews the lookup table to retrieve the telephone number that is associated with the subscription code. The telephone number is then used by the routing device to terminate the call to the telephone number.
