Description

The internet service apparatus using virtual number}

The present invention relates to an Internet service apparatus, and more particularly, to an Internet service apparatus for assigning a destination number to a virtual number desired by the payer so that the caller can receive a call to the desired destination number. In general, the caller's charge service on the public telephone network is a service system in which a company pays for a customer's telephone fee when making a reservation for a customer's order by telephone. In order to receive such a conventional public telephone network payee service (hereinafter referred to as '080 service' or 'cs080 service'), a customer must use a telephone connected to the public telephone network. Then, a company that wants a 080 service registers with a telecommunication company that performs a 080 service, receives a 080 number, and pays a call fee instead of using a service. In this case, in order to receive the service on the Internet, the customer can connect to the homepage of the company that provides the Internet telephony service or directly call the Internet using commercial software, but only use the physical number provided by the public telephone network. If the salesperson is out of the office and cannot receive a call at the assigned 080 phone number, the customer cannot make a phone call. In addition, the phone number representing the representative of the company is widely known to the customer, but if the company is transferred to a long distance, the number itself is changed, you may feel uncomfortable with the call. In addition, since all 080 numbers can use only one number for one station number, a service for transferring a call to another number is not possible. Particularly, special numbers known to the general public in business such as 2424 and 8585 physically give only one 080 number to one station number, so there is a problem of a number system that cannot be allocated by increasing the station number to the desired companies.

The present invention has been made to solve the above problems, and the object of the present invention is to provide an Internet service apparatus for assigning a destination number to a virtual number desired by the toll payer so that a call is received at the desired destination number.
