How The Toll-Free Exchange Works

how-it-works-screen icon-play

Hosted in the Google Compute Cloud – over a SIP interconnection, the Toll-Free Exchange takes care of all the details. We validate the rates and destination of the call by looking up the dialed toll-free number in the Somos S-C-P. If the Resp-Org has an established connection to the Exchange, and the rates match, then the call connects to the receiving responsible organizations’ network. The power of the Toll-Free Exchange is that a single S-I-P interconnection to the Toll-Free Exchange can immediately connect you to hundreds of participating Resp-Orgs.

What is the Toll-Free Exchange

What-Is-TFX-Screen2 icon-play

The toll-free exchange is the first and only Resp-Org to Resp-Org routing platform to use authoritative routing information to directly connect Responsible Organizations. No inter-exchange carrier, no tandem, and no PSTN. This completely revolutionizes the way toll-free calls are made by using your existing Resp-Org Id to connect calls with other Responsible Organizations.
