1. A service control point that routes calls, the service control point comprising:
- a switch controller that is configured to determine an identity of a communication network from which a call originated, and that is configured to route the call through at least one switch toward a destination communication device based on the identity of the originating communication network; and
a database associating network identifications with phone numbers, alternate carrier identification codes, and alternate phone numbers, and wherein the switch controller is configured to identify a called number to which the call is directed, and is configured to identify an alternate carrier identification code and an alternate phone number in response to the identity of the originating network and a called number to which the call is directed, and is configured to route the call through the at least one switch toward the destination communication device in response to the identified alternate carrier identification code and the identified alternate phone number.
