1. A system comprising:
- at least one hardware processor; and
one or more computer-readable storage media including instructions stored thereon that, responsive to execution by the at least one hardware processor, cause the system perform operations including;
applying a call policy to call data that includes information about a set of calls originating from a geographic phone number;
determining that a call of the set of calls is an unpermitted call based on the call violating a geographical use condition specified by the call policy for the originating geographic phone number, the geographical use condition restricting usage of the originating geographic phone number to a particular geographical region;
detecting a request to make a call originating from the geographic phone number;
generating a notification that enables an alternate phone number to be used for originating the call based on the determining of the unpermitted call; and
causing, based on a selection of the notification, the call to be connected using the alternate phone number as a second originating phone number.

11. A computer-implemented method, comprising:
-
performing a statistical analysis on call data that describes usage of a geographic phone number for originating calls to determine if usage of the geographic phone number for originating calls exceeds a usage threshold specified by a call policy, the usage threshold pertaining to usage of the geographic phone number for originating calls outside of a specified geographical region; determining that usage of the geographic phone number for originating calls exceeds the usage threshold; generating a notification to enable an alternate phone number to be used for originating a call at a different geographical region based on the usage exceeding the threshold; and causing the call to be connected based on receiving an indication of a selection of the notification. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15)

16. A computer-implemented method, comprising:
-
determining geographical regions at which a geographic phone number was used as a phone number for originating calls; aggregating call data that includes the determined geographical regions; determining that a call of the originated calls is an unpermitted call based on determining that the call violates a geographical use condition for the originating geographic phone number; detecting a request to make a call originating from the geographic phone number; generating, a notification that enables an alternate phone number to be used for originating a call based on the determining of the unpermitted call; and causing the call to be connected using the alternate phone number as a second originating phone number. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 19, 20)
