Routing calls to new mobile network

I'm trying to understand internals of mobile networks (GSM, 3GPP) and routing calls between them.

When new Mobile Network Operator (MNO) starts its operation, how does other mobile (and fixed) networks all over the world know, how should they route calls to this new network?

Where can I find more information about this topic?

They do share this info through the ITU.

Not something that is publicly available.
Anyway it's the job of net MNO to get acquainted to the neighbours. and possibly negotiate peering contract with them.

For VOIP there are possiblities created a a long time ago (E.164 throug DNS   ie. full numbers (incl. country code, without prefixes) reversed suffixed with e164.arpa that provide NAPTR records (ENUM standard) with prefered contact methods.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/E.164 can provide more reading & pointers.
