Abstract: A method and a system to assist customers to get lower communication usage rates are disclosed. The system utilizes a front-end control device and a central server to help customers choose the service operator offering lowest usage rate wherein the central server receives the dialing data from the front-end control device to calculate communication-cost. Thereafter, a code name is generated by the central server and transmitted to the front-end control device to update the number-mapping table thereof. When the customer makes a communication call, such as an international call, the front-end control device may automatically select the service operators providing a lowest communication-cost according the number-mapping table.
