A system and method for providing call information query stores modified
call information associated with a telephone number within the local
databases of a service provider's local network. The modified call
information enables a service provider to unilaterally alter how calls
are routed and rated. The service switching points (SSPs) located within
a same local network are equipped with modified intelligent network or
advanced intelligent network software that enables the local SSPs to
receive remote call information resulting from a remote query performed
by a remote SSP. The local SSPs analyze the remote call information and
generate queries to their local databases to obtain modified call
information. New services requiring modified call information can then be
implemented based upon the modified call information received as a result
of the queries.
