Number Forwarding and How it Works

Perfect Solution Created by FREE Add-on ‘Application Set’

Active Softswitch (AS) consists of numerous Add-on Applications and services. In this case, we pool together six Add-on Apps (Local Number, Registration, Profile, Virtual Numbers, Balance Top-Up and CDR’s) into one multifaceted ‘App Set’ and this creates a FREE Number Forwarding solution with the AS Ultimate service or for just £50 every month with the AS Enterprise or the Lite plan.

Number Forwarding unveils a classic win-win which can help your clients make high-quality calls to any specific location at a minimized rate and still leave a lot of margin for your business!

For instance, Mark, who is based in London, makes a call to Laura his girlfriend who is in Australia practically at all times. Mark has leased a local London phone number and he has directed it to Laura’s Australian phone number. He therefore only uses his London phone number to communicate to Laura. Laura has also done the same on her side, she owns a local Sydney phone number that is directed to Mark’s phone back in London.

With ICC’s AS service platform, Number Forwarding is one among the wide range of Solutions, Services, App Sets and Apps that you can offer your clients.

The illustration above is an example of what your Call Forwarding or VoIP reseller site could be. Of course, it would be in our own brand with your own specific words and images of choice while retaining its functional efficiency. The site is also responsive to the device you are using, whether it’s a mobile phone, tablet, laptop or desktop and this makes it very user-friendly.

The emergence of VoIP wholesaler technology has made it a globally accepted standard of making phone calls that are facilitated by the internet. The ICC Network uses its cutting-edge AS service platform to adapt a hybrid methodology to Number Forwarding by linking the conventional PSTN and mobile networks with its carrier standard Voice Over IP network.

Who is it for?

ITSPs across the globe are always searching for new ideas of marketing ideas that require worldwide coverage of calls. Often, these Internet Telephone Service Providers already have a certain niche market that they are aiming at, usually based on a marketing understanding of a specific ethnicity, geography or a demographic factor.

How does it work?

Your consumer goes online to subscribe to the service that you are providing. In the course of subscribing, they submit an international number that they wish to call frequently. The international phone number is then mapped to a ‘Local Number’ and thus, your client just needs to call that particular local number in order to connect to the international number that they desired.

The local number us usually a city, town or an end user’s locality and so they are only charged as per the local rates.

Again, using Mark’s situation as an example, he practically calls Laura, her Sydney-based girlfriend at all times. Mark owns a local London phone number that has been mapped to the Australian mobile phone number that Laura has. So, to talk to his Australian girlfriend, he still makes a call to a London number. Similarly, Laura also has a Local Sydney number that has been mapped to his boyfriend’s mobile number. Therefore, they both save a lot of money by communicating with each other at a very cheap rate!

ICC uses the Number Forwarding service in the background as part of its global outreach Active SoftSwitch service for purposes of routing, billing, customer management and enabling you to manage similar services through your own service platform.
