Handling of NGN Calls
In the simplest case, the NGN is translated into a regular geographic number. This number is then routed by the exchange in the normal way.
Other routing features include routing by time of day, location of caller, day of week, capacity, etc. For example, calls might be routed to a UK call centre during its hours of operation, but to a call centre in India at other times of day. This would avoid callers having to ring back when the UK call centre was open.

Famous quotes containing the words handling and/or calls:
“Many more children observe attitudes, values and ways different from or in conflict with those of their families, social networks, and institutions. Yet today’s young people are no more mature or capable of handling the increased conflicting and often stimulating information they receive than were young people of the past, who received the information and had more adult control of and advice about the information they did receive.”
—James P. Comer (20th century)
“We take a fancy to something: and scarcely have we thoroughly taken a fancy to it when that tyrant in us calls out: “Give me that in sacrifice”—and we give it.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
