System for managing telecommunications
First Claim
1. A signaling processor to process signaling for a call from a caller:
- a signaling interface configured to receive a first signaling message indicating a called telephone number for the call;
a call manager configured to process the called telephone number from the first signaling message to determine if call validation is required, and if the call validation is not required, then to process the called telephone number to determine routing information without the call validation, but if the call validation is required, then to determine if the call is valid, and if the call is valid, then to process the called telephone number to determine the routing information; and
the signaling interface further configured to transfer a second signaling message indicating the routing in formation for the call.

Abstract
A signaling processor receives a first signaling message indicating a called telephone number for the call. The signaling processor processes the called telephone number from the first signaling message to determine if call validation is required. If the call validation is not required, then the signaling processor processes the called telephone number to determine routing information without the call validation. If the call validation is required, then the signaling processor determines if the call is valid, and if the call is valid, then the signaling processor processes the called telephone number to determine the routing information. The signaling processor transfers a second signaling message indicating the routing information for the call.

11. A method of operating a signaling processor to process signaling for a call from a caller:
-
receiving a first signaling message indicating a called telephone number for the call; processing the called telephone number from the first signaling message to determine if call validation is required; if the call validation is not required, then processing the called telephone number to determine routing information without the call validation; if the call validation is required, then determining if the call is valid, and if the call is valid, then processing the called telephone number to determine the routing information; and transferring a second signaling message indicating the routing information for the call. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
