SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR CALL TERMINATION BASED ON ONE OR MORE OVER-THE -TOP (OTT) CALL SERVICES

摘要

A system and method for connecting a call from an originating endpoint of a calling party to a terminating endpoint of a called party while accounting for one or more over-the-top (OTT) call services that are subscribed to by the called party. In response to receiving a dialed number, or other call information, a computer system determines whether to connect the call to the terminating endpoint of the called party via an OTT call service, based on the geolocation of the terminating endpoint. For example and without limitation, based on the terminating endpoint currently being located within a country that is on a list of developed countries or not currently being located within a country that is on a list of developing countries, the computer system might deem a particular OTT call service to be acceptable for handling the call for the terminating endpoint.
