A calling account recharge system, method, and device are provided. The
device has an associated stored-value calling account, and typically
includes a selector, a communications program configured to communicate
with a recharge service via a communication network, and a recharge
option selectable by a user upon actuation of the selector. The recharge
option is configured to cause the communications program to initiate a
recharge transaction with the recharge service via the communication
network, in order to add calling units to the stored-value calling
account. The device may be configured to access the communication network
via a toll-free gateway.
