Abstract
An Advanced Intelligent Network architecture is used by a first telecommunications service provider having an operator services switch to provide enhanced call processing for operator services calls. The calls received at the operator services switch originate from a second telecommunications service provider, and the first telecommunications service provider provides custom services to the subscribers of the second telecommunication service provider. A call received at the operator services switch triggers the switch to query a control point for instructions, which in turn may query an external service parameter database. The control point instructs the switch to temporarily connect the caller to a peripheral resource providing a custom branding announcement to the caller and a menu of options from which the caller may select popular destinations. After provision of the custom branding announcement and menu, the call to the intelligent peripheral is released and the caller is routed to the appropriate service, which can be a directory assistance service.
