A telecommunications system and method for flexibly routing telecommunications in an efficient manner using resources that are traded in a market. The system basically comprises at least one calling and called telephones (2 and 4), respectively. Telephone (2) is connected to a local telephone network (6), in turn, connected to an originating toll switch (14) via telecommunications medium (16) by local loop (8). As the same configuration to called telephone (4), terminating local network (10), and terminating toll switch (18) via communications links (12 and 20). International gateway switches (22-28) each connects to respective toll switch and service node (44-49) for transceiving data messages among other gateway switches having variable of signaling protocols of different telecommunication providers. The system further comprises a server node (56) operates as a distributed network of servers. Server node (56) determines cost-efficient routing paths for calls connected via the international gateway network.
