Has anyone integrated a tool to allow FreePBX to look up a dialed number’s carrier and route calls based on the returned value?
There are a number of services that allow you to lookup the current carrier for a number (Carrier24-7 from Data24-7 is one). I would like to be able to do this and route calls to a CDMA gateway attached to our system to take advantage of mobile to mobile rates. This seems similar to the existing CNAM lookup tools in CallerID lookup sources, but is obviously quite different. Has it been done before?
This sounds like something that would tie in well to Superfecta
