Abstract
One embodiment of the present invention provides a system that facilitates web service access to telephony functionality. During operation, the system receives a request at a web service to access the telephony functionality using a Voice Over Internet Protocol (VOIP) network. In response, the system selects an interface to the VOIP network, routes the telephony functionality to a public switched telephone network (PSTN), and accesses the telephony functionality.
