Abstract
Methods, computer readable media, and system embodiments are provided for call routing in communication networks. One method embodiment includes initiating a call processing process by receiving a call for a called party, sending a message to a home location register to initiate a call termination, arming a trigger for transferring the call processing process to a set of executable instructions that can use a variable delay to pause the call processing process to allow a color ringback tone server to provide an initial play of a ringback tone, initiating an initial play of the ringback tone for receipt by the calling party, sending a message transferring the call processing process to the home location register, and setting a variable delay that allows the initial play of the ringback tone to the calling party to play for a predetermined period.
