The least call routing system assists the public in call routing by analyzing the available call routing options in relation to user specific criteria so as to identify an appropriate carrier. In one embodiment, a number of users (101-106) and a number of carriers (110, 112 and 114) are interconnected to a call routing selection site (106) via the internet (108). The selection site (116) includes a processor (118), a service information database (120) and a user information database (122). The service information database (120) includes a calling plan or other call rating information for each of the carriers (110, 112 and 114). The user information database (122) includes information specific to particular users that may be relevant to selecting a preferred routing option or carrier. The processor (118) is operative for accessing the service information database (120) and the user information database (122) so as to select a preferred carrier or routing option based on the available carrier options and user preferences or other user information.
