Abstract

A system and method for performing international callback. To place an international call, a calling party places a first international call, originated in a foreign telephone company (104), to a domestic international callback center (110). During this first international call, the calling party schedules an international callback. At the scheduled time, the international callback center (110) first places a call to the domestic called party (114). Next, the international callback center (110) places a second international call, originated in a domestic telephone company (112), to the foreign calling party (102). The foreign calling party (102) and the domestic called party (114) are then connected.
