Abstract

A Service Switching Point in an advanced intelligent network includes a trigger associated with a specific digit string and activated by a call to the specific digit string at the SSP. The SSP queries a Service Control Point (SCP) for a forwarding instruction based upon the trigger. In response to the query, the SCP sends the SSP a forward-to telephone number. The SSP then forwards the call to the forward-to telephone number.
