Indirect Voice previously used access codes to route calls away from BT. These (1xxx) codes were either manually dialled by the customer or generated automatically by equipment within the customer’s premises.
Carrier pre selection (CPS) still uses the concept of access codes, but the access codes are implemented at the exchange rather than the customers’ premises.
As the call reaches the exchange, BT’s systems can identify the call, with the aid of the access code, and route it over the relevant operator’s network. These 8xxx codes are administered by Ofcom and are only available to a licensed CPS Operator. CPS is a more effective and efficient way of re-routing calls.
