netnumber North American Toll Free Routing
The Challenge: Routing
Toll-free numbers are a ubiquitous contact channel for many businesses in the United States and Canada, both large and small. Consumers can conveniently reach these businesses without having to pay for phone calls.
The calls are routed between the home operator of the calling consumer and the service provider of the called business, sometimes via several hops. Service providers and voice carriers involved in routing and transporting the calls need accurate data about each toll-free number in order to choose the most effective route.
The netnumber Solution
netnumber has partnered with SOMOS, the company which maintains the authoritative SMS/800 TFN Registry. SOMOS has been designated by the FCC to administer this database. Customers using the North American Toll-Free Routing service get access to near real-time routing information for toll-free numbers in the North American Numbering Plan.
Given a phone number, North American Toll-Free Routing will return a comprehensive set of related data elements. These enable customers to determine the correct routing of voice calls to toll-free numbers.
North American Toll-Free Routing enables voice carriers and service providers to route calls to toll-free numbers in the US and Canada.
