Abstract

See full text

A method and system for providing operator services to an interexchange carrier for completing a long distance telephone call for which an operator service is indicated. The interexchange carrier call requiring operator services is connected from the interexchange carrier (IXW) network to a point-of-presence (POP) of the interexchange carrier within a local access transport area (LATA). From the POP the call is connected to an operator service system (OSS) external to the IXC network and within the LATA. The OSS completes the call in accordance with a request for service from the caller. An SS7 signaling system is used to route calls from a terminating switch in the interexchange carrier network to an end office, so that the call legs of the operator service system can be switched out of the call path.
