Techniques for managing access to resources utilizing call information are
provided. Resources of like type can be pooled into resource groups and
customers can then be sold a base amount of a resource, to be taken from
the appropriate resource group, that the customer can then provide to
users or callers. The server of the resources utilizes the telephone
number of the party called and call type in order to identify the
resource that is requested. If the base amount of the requested resource
has already been allocated, an overflow amount can be utilized to provide
additional resources of a like type, if they are available. Thus, the
resources can be efficiently managed to allow a high utilization of the
available resources.
