US Patent:

8442032, May 14, 2013

Filed:

Sep 29, 2005

Appl. No.:

11/240219

Inventors:

Vinay Kundaje - Succasunna NJ, US
Scott R. Lytle - Blairstown NJ, US

Assignee:

AT&T Intellectual Property II, L.P. - Atlanta GA

International Classification:

H04L 12/66

US Classification:

370352

Abstract:

A Voice-over-Internet protocol (VoIP) communications network system that enables direct-dialed (single-stage) access to the Internet Protocol (IP) network from the circuit-switched network. Specifically, the VoIP network system includes a VoIP service implemented on a communications system which, after a customer number has been registered for the service, automatically recognizes calls from the registered customer's telephone number and determines if the call can be routed as a VoIP call over the IP network. In embodiments of the present invention, the customer can register for the VoIP service by selecting both a provider (PIC) and a calling plan or by only selecting a provider. The system can be implemented to handle intra-state, inter-state and international voice-band calls (for example, regular telephone calls, facsimile transmissions and modem initiated calls) using standard circuit-switched telephone lines, cable, twisted pair, digital subscriber line (DSL) and wireless.
