A system and method for managing accounting and billing e-commerce
(including m-commerce) transactions. The user may connect to the
e-commerce network by placing a call from a land line or sending a text
message. The user may then purchase goods and/or services after meeting
required user qualifications, such as minimum age or credit rating. The
user qualifications may be established within the framework of a gateway
that assigns a unique identifier or personal identification number (PIN)
for e-commerce network access once the qualifications are met. The user
qualifications may also be established within the framework of a remote
access server (RAS) that is accessed by a user through a downloadable
automatic dialer having code containing a unique identifier relating to a
merchant, product or service. The user is invoiced for the product or
service according to the telephone from which the call originated.
