Abstract
A telecommunications network stores data including geographical locations, network types and the like associated with calling codes. If, for example, a customer wants to identify to where a dialed call relates, a service access code may be dialed and a series of voice prompts encourages entry of digits identifying areas. Voice announcement peripherals are used to provide decoding of data to area name and, if further detail is available, to provide a more specific geographic location (e.g., a town name).
