A method of operating a virtual private network includes the steps of: (a) dialing a custom number; (b) receiving the custom number at a switch () of a first carrier; (c) routing the call to a switch () of a second carrier based on having received the custom number; and (d) when the call to the switch () of the second carrier includes a plain old telephone number translation of the customer number, routing the call over the second carrier to a service switching point () of a third carrier.

Method of operating a virtual private network

A system and method for creating and implementing telecommunications services are disclosed. The system comprises a service development platform that includes a communications module, and application server, and at least one auxiliary module. The communications module enables data to be transmitted to and from the development platform to facilitate the implementation of telecommunications services. The application server can store a telecommunications service creation tool that can be used by an individual to generate code needed to implement the telecommunications service or that can automatically generate code needed to implement the telecommunications service. The application server can also store the code needed to implement the telecommunications service and can transmit data to and receive data from the communications module as necessary for implementing the telecommunications service. The auxiliary module can perform various functions and can be accessed by the application server in implementing the telecommunications service.

Platform for rapid development of telecommunications services

A method of operating a virtual private network includes the steps of: (a) dialing a custom number; (b) receiving the custom number at a switch ( ) of a first carrier; (c) routing the call to a switch ( ) of a second carrier based on having received the custom number; and (d) when the call to the switch ( ) of the second carrier includes a plain old telephone number translation of the customer number, routing the call over the second carrier to a service switching point ( ) of a third carrier.

A method of operating a virtual private network includes the steps of: (a) dialing a custom number; (b) receiving the custom number at a switch (20) of a first carrier; (c) routing the call to a switch (18) of a second carrier based on having received the custom number; and (d) when the call to the switch (18) of the second carrier includes a plain old telephone number translation of the customer number, routing the call over the second carrier to a service switching point (26) of a third carrier.
