A call processing system that is configured to communicate with a
plurality of remote processors, wherein the call processing system
comprises a routing system configured to receive signaling for a call
wherein the signaling indicates a called number including an
international country code, and a processing system configured to process
the international code to select one of the remote processors from the
plurality of remote processors. The processing system is further
configured to transfer a remote processor query to the one remote
processor and process a remote processor response from the one remote
processor to transfer a routing instruction for the call to the routing
system.
