A method and system allows multiple and simultaneous use of a pre-paid
calling card. A call management system allows for the completion of
multiple calls under one pre-paid calling card account number. Depending
on the number of concurrent users, a billing system assigns a portion of
the total number of available service units to individualized user
accounts. The individualized accounts are debited according to the rate
charges for each of the calls and are initially assigned an account
balance that allows all concurrent users with the same amount of talk
time.
