1. In telecommunication environments having wireless networks in communication with landline networks, a system comprising:
- a home location register (HLR) located within a wireless network;
a visitor location register (VLR) located within a landline network;
means for storing a routing number at the HLR as a wireless number; and
means for storing the routing number at the VLR as a landline number.

Abstract
Systems and methods are presented in which a routing number for telecommunication environments are stored in both a wireless network and a landline network. By storing the routing number at both the wireless network and the landline network, a “tromboning” effect is reduced, thereby providing greater efficiency.
