Abstract

An interexchange carrier (IXC) provides different treatment for calls on which it receives an indication that the caller dialed its access code. Calls placed without dialing the access code of the IXC are completed as in the prior art. One such treatment permits a subscriber to supply an IXC with an associated telephone number to which calls to the subscriber's telephone number should be directed when the caller dials the IXC's access code. A call is originated at a telephone (701). The IXC switch recognizes that its access code was dialed and queries its association data base using the called number (703). The association for the called subscriber is located, if there is one (705), enabling retrieval of the stored forwarding telephone number (707). The call is routed to the telephone line indicated by the forwarding telephone number (709) and the process then exits in step 711.
