Not. With geographical aggregation, you may route a call
*anywhere* in the destination country.
You mean anywhere in the world. Calls to my number reach my cell phone no matter where I go.
Number portability database is looked up after the call
reaches the destination country, which will be used for
further intra-national routing, which do not affect
country-wise aggregation of international routing table.
Actually the GSM system will query the HLR to find out where to really route the call. Much like LISP actually.
