The invention provides a system and a method for connecting an
out-of-market customer to a desired telephone number. The method
comprises receiving a customer validation request from a foreign market
provider and, in return, providing a random or designated toll-free
telephone number to the foreign market provider. Upon receiving a call
request from the foreign market provider, the call request is directed to
the desired telephone number. The customer validation request may include
the desired telephone number and/or a mobile identification number. The
call request is based on the provided toll-free telephone number, which
is owned by a home market provider.
