A method and apparatus is provided for routing calls between a PSTN and a base station system (11, 14-18). The method includes the step of associating a port of a mobile switching center (12) of the cellular communication system (10) with a PSTN interconnect port of a PSTN interconnect of the base station system (11, 14-18). The method further includes translating an identifier of the PSTN interconnect port and associated port of the mobile switching center (12) between the mobile switching center (12) and base station system (11, 14-18) and exchanging control information between the PSTN interconnect port of the base station system (11, 14-18) and the associated port of the mobile switching center (12). The apparatus provides means for accomplishing the method.
