Methods and systems are provided for call center screening that enable a
network service provider to dynamically control service request traffic
directed to selected service centers. An Advanced Intelligent Network
(AIN) service is configured to intercept calls originating from calling
parties and directed to trigger numbers designated for processing
predetermined service requests. Depending upon the trigger number, the
AIN may play an announcement asking a calling party to designate the
service requested. Following a calling party's valid response, a second
announcement is played asking the calling party to select the type of
service associated with the first response. Depending upon the calling
party's responses and calling party's location, the AIN may route the
call to selected service centers, in order to control the traffic to
overloaded service centers.
