The present invention suppresses the number of connections from another network, and reduces the load on call processing apparatuses in a local network. An ENUM server 30 includes: a congestion detection unit 322 that collects traffic information regarding calls that include call destination numbers from call processing apparatuses in the local network, calculates a call amount per unit time for each call destination number, and stores the call amounts per unit time as calculated call amount information 331, and also extracts a call destination number included in an ENUM query received from the other network, references the calculated call amount information 331, and determines that calls to the call destination number are in a congested state if the call amount regarding the call destination number exceeds a predetermined threshold value; a limit processing unit 323 that, if it was determined that the call destination number included in the ENUM query is in the congested state, determine whether or not the ENUM query is to be a limit target based on predetermined limit processing; and a signal response unit 325 that, if it was determined that the ENUM query is a limit target, generates an ENUM answer that indicates connection unavailability, and transmits the ENUM answer to the other network.

Disclosed are systems and methods for robocall steering over voice-hosted traffic networks. The disclosed framework provides novel systems and methods for increasing the accuracy and efficiency in tracking, identifying, blocking and preventing robocalls and robocallers. The disclosed systems and methods provide mechanisms for identifying and removing unwanted voice traffic from networks. The disclosed systems and methods analyze voice traffic over a predetermined period of time (e.g., 1 day or 30 days, for example), and leverage this information into a “know your customer” (KYC) score. This score enables incoming calls to be routed, controlled and/or blocked as they are communicated over voice networks.

Aspects of the present disclosure involve systems and methods for a collaboration conferencing system to track a total number of concurrently utilized ports across any number of conferencing bridges of the network for a particular customer and one or more billing actions may occur based on this tracking. This may result in an alternate billing option for the customer's use of the system. Further, a telecommunications network administrator may provide access to the collaboration conferencing system based on a total number of concurrently utilized ports rather than on a per conference or per minute basis. With the information of the number of purchased ports by the customer, the administrator may more accurately predict an available capacity for the collaboration conferencing system needed to support all of the users of the system and the potential collaboration conferences.

A Toll-Free Management Platform (TFMP) includes methods and systems for number administration, customer administration, call management services, texting services and text registry, and a smart services registry. The TFMP may allow users to receive through a web-based interface, an activate request from a user, wherein the request includes at least a customer record template reference and an indication of when to active a toll-free telecommunications number associated with the request. The request may include at least one IP address datum associated with the toll-free telecommunications number. A user interface may allow activating a toll-free number, and users may access the TFMP to create and access existing templates of toll-free call routing templates, and utilize a routing tree engine to create customized call routing trees for the toll-free numbers of interest to the user.

A system comprising a communication activity detecting device, a network selector, and a network control memory structure that operate to detect anomalous communication activity and, in response, send a routing control to a location routing number control memory structure to alter a location routing number, which results in communication activity switching from a first network to a second network. A method including receiving a network switch control to switch communication activity from a first network to a second network, selecting the second network from one or more networks to route the communication activity, and sending a routing control to a location routing number control memory structure. The routing control may include instructions to alter a first location routing number to a second location routing number associated with the second network.

A computer-implemented method of for optimizing cellular network performance including identifying a plurality of voice call records stored on an application server in a first type of cellular network. The method includes analyzing call data associated with the plurality of voice call records, and identifying a set of fall back voice call records. The call data for each voice call record of the set of fall back voice call records includes a fall back indicator indicating that each voice call was initiated using a second type of cellular network. The method includes analyzing cause codes in the call data associated with the set of fall back voice call records and determining, based on the cause codes, a value for at least one KPI associated with the second type of cellular network.
