Abstract
A method and apparatus for processing and routing termination telephone calls is disclosed. A termination telephone call is one that terminates at a specific pre-defined shared or specific pre-defined dedicated termination trunk group. The pre-defined trunk group is connected to a pre-defined termination switching device. A termination telephone number is translated into a termination routing address. The termination telephone call is routed via a telecommunications network to a termination switch as specified by the termination routing address. The call is then terminated to a dedicated or shared trunk group which is also specified by the termination routing address. The dedicated or shared termination trunk group is directly connected to the termination switch.
