  • Dial-around compensation method and system
    Patent number: 6430277
    Abstract: A method and system for determining dial-around compensation based on the actual data recorded at the smart pay telephones. Records maintained at the smart phone store dialed information, and, through a series of parsing and filtering operations on those records, along with database accesses based thereon, the Carrier Identification Code (CIC) associated with that call is determined. The CIC is based on the pay telephone's ANI-related information and the date and destination of the call. Once the CIC is known, another database is accessed to determine the known owner of that CIC. Output such as billing information may then be generated to collect compensation from the owner.
