1. A method of providing a prioritized international call route list to a network element, where the international call route list associates alternative international communication service carrier routes with an international telephone number, comprising:
building a plurality of prioritized international call route lists by an international call routing management system based on key performance indicators (KPIs) of international call routes, wherein the KPIs comprise a minutes of use KPI;
adapting the prioritized international call route lists based on pre-defined overrides by the international call routing management system;
sending the adapted prioritized international call route lists by the international call routing management system to a central routing function (CRF) platform;
receiving a request for a prioritized international call route list by the CRF platform from a network element, where the request comprises an international telephone number;
accessing a prioritized international call route list associated with the international telephone number by the CRF platform from among the plurality of adapted prioritized international call route lists;
determining by the CRF platform that the international telephone number is associated with a percent allocation rule;
based on the percent allocation rule removing the first priority call route from the prioritized call route list associated with the international telephone number by the CRF platform to make a curtailed prioritized international call route list; and
sending the curtailed prioritized international call route list by the CRF platform to the network element.
