The present invention is related to telecommunications, and in particular
to systems and methods of using telecommunication services for user
authentication. Account information is stored for a user, the account
information including at least a first phone number associated with the
user. A user order is received. A verification phone call is received
from the user, the call including charge phone number information. The
charge number information is compared to the first phone number to
authenticate that the user is associated with the first phone number.
Based at least in part on the comparison, the user order is selectively
caused to be fulfilled.
