Abstract
A method for routing an international call includes receiving a call and identifying a first international carrier based on an Internet protocol address associated with the call or a tunnel through which the call was received. The method also includes identifying a second international carrier based on the identified first international carrier. The second international carrier may represent a terminating carrier associated with forwarding the call to a called party. The method may further include forwarding the call to the identified second international carrier.
