Toll-free telecommunications and data management platform
First Claim
1. A system for updating call routing data associated with a toll-free telecommunications number, the system comprising:
- a web-based interface adapted to communicate with a toll-free telecommunications management platform and a toll-free network operator platform;
at least one processor in communication with the toll-free telecommunications management platform, wherein the web-based interface is adapted to transmit a command to the at least one processor;
a database associated with the toll-free telecommunications management platform, wherein the database contains call routing data that is associated with the toll-free network operator platform; and
an activation mechanism within the web-based interface, the activation mechanism programmed to generate the command, wherein the command is to at least update the database by appending IP address data to the call routing data.

Abstract
A Toll-Free Management Platform (TFMP) includes methods and systems for number administration, customer administration, call management services, texting services and text registry, and a smart services registry. The TFMP may allow users to receive through a web-based interface, an activate request from a user, wherein the request includes at least a customer record template reference and an indication of when to active a toll-free telecommunications number associated with the request. The request may include at least one IP address datum associated with the toll-free telecommunications number. A user interface may allow activating a toll-free number, and users may access the TFMP to create and access existing templates of toll-free call routing templates, and utilize a routing tree engine to create customized call routing trees for the toll-free numbers of interest to the user.

10. A method of identifying and storing call routing data associated with a toll-free-communication entity, comprising:
-
identifying a toll-free call route trend among a plurality of toll-free calls taking place within a toll-free network operator platform;
wherein the call route trend is identified at least in part by call routings among toll-free numbers sharing an attribute;notifying the toll-free network operator platform of the trend; identifying an entity using at least one toll-free number with the shared attribute from among the entities using the toll-free network operator platform; receiving, through a web-based interface, an add request, wherein the add request includes at least one IP address datum associated with the entity and at least one toll-free number sharing the attribute; and creating a call route template update for use in directing calls to the at least one toll-free number sharing the attribute, wherein the call routing template update includes the at least one IP address datum. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
