Abstract

An online and offline communication processing and tracking system using data processing and data/voice networks is described. A phone address from a phone address number pool is automatically assigned to a first customer prospect communication. A call quality rating is determined and recorded. A call from a caller directed to the phone address is received at a call bridging system coupled to at least one network, wherein the call is associated with call signaling information. Based at least in part on the call quality associated with the caller call, the caller call is routed to entity placing a bid on the caller call. An outbound call is generated from the call bridging system and the inbound and the outbound calls are bridged.
