Abstract: A telecommunications system and method are disclosed for providing information relating to a telephone call associated with an access point within a telecommunications system, such as a telephone line or telephone number, to a software application in substantial real time. The system and method include assigning a destination address to the telecommunications system access point about which telephone call information is desired, and sending an electronic message to the destination address in response to a telephone call being established utilizing the access point. The electronic message includes, among other things, information relating to the telephone call and the access point.

Abstract: A "Local Number Portability (LNP) intelligent Signal Transfer Point (STP)" which can perform a Local Number Portability (LNP) query towards a Service Control Point (SCP) and modify the incoming Initial Address Message (IAM) with the Location Routing Number (LRN) and the Ported Dialed Number (PDN), and indicate, using the Forward Call Indicator (FCI) (M-bit), whether the number has been translated. This advantageously allows non-Advanced Intelligent Network capable Service Switching Points (SSPs) (but Integrated Services Digital Network User Part, or ISUP, capable SSPs) to support Local Number Portability (LNP) without having to upgrade the SSP's. In addition, the LNP intelligent STP system provides AIN-capable SSPs with an alternative means of LNP, which reduces both the internal switching processes and the cost for the LNP query transactions.
