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 search for, receive recommendations for, and make reservations of toll-free numbers. A user interface may allow activating a toll-free number, through a one-click activation function 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. Predictive analytic services may be provided that allow a user through a customizable user interface, or dashboard, to access third party data sources and other information derived from toll-free telecommunications networks.

A toll-free tagging service is provided that includes a subscription-based service that is made available to responsible organizations, consumers and businesses. The toll-free tagging service may provide the ability to tag a toll-free number (or group of numbers), and once a number is tagged, to track updates to that number that may then be distributed to customers through emails/text messages or other means. Subscribers of the toll-free tagging service may also have the ability to create, view, update and delete tags through a web application, mobile application, or some other user interface.

A method of searching for a toll-free number including identifying a previous search number history for a user; and offering a toll free number associated with the previous search number history to the user.

A method including: receiving one or more datasets indicating call activity corresponding to a phone number; analyzing the one or more datasets to identify unusual call activity; and generating a fraud prediction, based at least in part on the identified unusual call activity, that the phone number will be used for fraud.

Systems and methods are provided for effectuating a filtering technique that can enable available bandwidth (e.g., on a network path) to be estimated in the presence of moderate losses caused by certain queue management techniques. When packet losses exist on a network path due to certain types of packet queue transmission mechanisms, methods, or models, a bump detection algorithm (BDA) can be used to perform bandwidth estimation. When a pattern of packet loss is identified (from its signature) as being one with which BDA can be performed to accurately estimate available bandwidth on a network path, the BDA-based bandwidth estimate may be used to place/route and load balance network traffic, or otherwise used to engage in network traffic engineering, take other network-related action(s), or reported out. Otherwise, the bandwidth estimation is suppressed and not used.
