Carrier Pre-Selection

Carrier Pre-Selection

Carrier Pre-Selection (CPS) allows you to choose which telecommunications provider you want to carry your voice calls. There is no inconvenience involved with CPS, no autodiallers, manual prefixing or PBX reprogramming; you keep your existing phone numbers and continue to make calls as usual.

Carrier Pre-Selection uses network access technology, so traffic originating from your site will be routed directly to your chosen network with no need for prefix codes. The "selection" of the preferred provider is done automatically at point of entry (the local exchange) to the public voice network.

CPS takes 10 days to setup and nothing is required to be changed at your end. Once CPS has been enabled, your calls are automatically routed to Coms from your local exchange.

Once CPS is enabled you can always “breakout” to BT by dialling 1280 and then the number you wish to dial.
