System and method for routing calls based on real-time call pricing information

摘要

A system for routing calls according to call pricing data, wherein the call pricing data is updated in real-time. In a preferred embodiment, a Real-Time Analysis Engine (RAE) prices calls in real-time by applying customer specific data to Automatic Message Accounting (AMA) records. The priced call data generated by the RAE is stored in a Summary Database (SD). When a particular customer initiates a call, the originating network switch may recall some or all of the priced call data from the SD, and use the recalled data as a basis for deciding how to route the call. <IMAGE>
