`
`(Original)
`
`A process for producing a routing message for routing communications
`
`between a caller and a callee in a communication system, the process comprising:
`
`using a caller identifier associated with the caller to locate a caller dialing profile
`
`comprising a plurality of calling attributes associated with the caller;
`
`when at least one of said calling attributes and at least a portion of a callee
`
`identifier associated with the callee meet private network classification criteria, producing
`
`a private network routing message for receipt by a call controller, said private network
`
`routing message identifying an address, on the private network, associated with the callee;
`
`and
`
`i
`
`when at least one of said calling attributes and at least a portion of said callee
`
`identifier meet a public network classification criterion, producing a public network
`
`routing message for receipt by the call controller, said public network routing message
`
`identifying a gateway to the public network.
`
`2.
`
`(Original)
`
`The process of claim 1, wherein said private network classification criteria
`
`include:
`
`a)
`
`said callee identifier does not begin with the same digit pattern as an international
`
`dialing digit (IDD) attribute of said callee identifier; and
`
`b)
`
`said callee identifier does not begin with the same digit pattern as a national
`
`dialing digit (NDD) attribute of said callee identifier; and
`
`c)
`
`said callee identifier does not begin with the same area code as an area code of
`
`said caller; and
`
`(1)
`
`said callee identifier does, not have a length that is within a range of caller local
`
`number lengths; and
`
`e)
`

`
`locating a callee dialing profile for the callee when said callee identifier identifies

`
`handing information is available, said call handing information including at least one of
`
`call blocking information, call forwarding information, and voicemail information.
`
`5.
`
`(Original)
