1. A method for processing and routing termination calls, each having a termination telephone number, comprising the steps of:

  • (1) receiving a termination telephone number at a telecommunication switch;

    (2) sending said termination telephone number to a computer data base system in response to receiving the termination telephone number;

    (3) translating at said computer data base system, the termination telephone number into a termination routing address, wherein said translating step includes providing to the telecommunication switch a termination switch identifier, at least one digit to be out pulsed from a receiving switch having a switch identifier that corresponds to said termination switch identifier, and a termination trunk group identifier;

    (4) sending said termination routing address to the telecommunication switch, thereby causing the telecommunication switch to process the termination call as a receiving switch;

    (5) receiving said termination routing address at a receiving switch having a receiving switch identifier;

    (6) comparing the receiving switch identifier and said termination switch identifier in response to receiving said termination routing address; and

    (7) outpulsing said at least one digit from the receiving switch to a termination trunk group having said termination trunk group identifier, if the receiving switch identifier matches said termination switch identifier.
