The invention provides systems and methods in which an incoming call port
is looped back at a switch and, under control of a call segment
controller, is directed to applications and/or other termination points
to provide enhanced calling services. According to a preferred
embodiment, the call segment controller is provided with initial call
instructions to initially direct an incoming call. The call may then be
directed to an application which interacts with the call to determine
further call instructions. These further call instructions are passed to
the call segment controller to further process the call. Under control of
the call segment controller the call may be directed to multiple
termination points, including redirection to the application to provide
subsequent interaction with the call.
