Abstract
A system for implementing a telecommunication number processing technique is disclosed. The deployed system, e.g. a call center, comprises a CT server and a telecommunication switch. The deployed system can further comprise a computer network. The CT server receives a telecommunication number input from a telecommunication switch or the computer network. The telecommunication number input represents a telecommunication number to dial a telecommunication call to a telecommunication subscriber located within the system, or an external telephone. In response to the telecommunication number input, the CT server provides a standardized number corresponding to the telecommunication number input. The CT server subsequently provides a dial plan corresponding to the standardized number. The dial plan includes a dial string, a dial group, and a dialing classification. The CT server executes the dial plan to transmit the dial string and the dial group to the telecommunication switch if the dialing classification indicates a source of the telecommunication number input has authorization to dial the telecommunication number input.
