Abstract
Architecture and a method for reducing voice switch and trunk loading is disclosed. In one embodiment, a system for handling a voice frequency data call to a first termination telephone number associated with a service provider includes a first processor for recognizing and routing the voice frequency data call toward a data network via a first network modem and a converter for receiving the voice frequency data call from the first network modem and packetizing the voice frequency call into a packet switch call having at least a first packet transmittable toward the service provider via the data network interconnectable to the service provider. A method for handling such voice frequency data calls from a first person to a service provider includes the steps of recognizing the voice frequency data call corresponds to a service provider, processing at least the first termination telephone number to direct the routing of data in the voice frequency data call toward a data network, and processing the voice frequency data call to convert it to a packet switch call having at least a first packet transmittable toward the service provider via the data network.
