A system and method of providing long distance service products to users.
Post-paid debit calling cards are purchased on-line by a customer or user
and the user is billed monthly, along with other service charges. The
calling card account, however, is debited as it is used. Since the fee
for the account is charged against an existing customer account,
fraudulent purchases are reduced. In an embodiment, the purchaser is
provided access to a restricted web page on the Internet using a user
name and password, where the user name and password are associated with
the customer's account. Once accessed, the user is able to purchase
"post-paid debit calling cards." Upon sending a request to purchase such
a calling card, the user is provided a toll free number and PIN.
Subsequently, the purchase is logged and the fee is added to the
customer's monthly bill.
