Prerequisite features

The Home Zone feature determines if the subscriber is within a defined set of home zones on originating calls.

The subscriber zones table is used to determine the list of zones that the subscriber is registered in.

The location type criteria is determined from the initialdp.locationInformation.cellGlobalIdOrServiceAreaIdOrLAI and set to one of SAI, CGI, or LAI.

Then the zones table is used to determine if the location from the initialdp is in one of the registered zones for the subscriber.
