Abstract
A method may include receiving, from an egress switch in a first wireless network, a request for instructions for routing a call from a calling party to a called party in a wireline network. In addition, the method may include performing a lookup to identify a service provider of the called party in a database. Still, in addition, the method may include generating an instruction indicating that the egress switch is to route the call to a core network connected to the egress switch via a direct access line when the same service provider operates the core network and the wireline network, the core network integrated with the wireline network. Furthermore, the method may include sending, by a service control point device, the instruction to the egress switch.
