Abstract: A system is disclosed to establish a telephone connection between parties. In one embodiment, a system includes receives a request to validate an outbound call from a first party to a telephone number associated with a second party. The system determines whether the outbound call is permitted to the telephone number and whether a pre-established account exists to debit against call. In response to the pre-established account existing, the system switches the collect call to a prepaid platform. Alternatively, in response to the pre-established account not existing or the pre-established account having insufficient credit to debit against the call, the system places an inquiry call to the second party. In response to the inquiry call, the system creates for the second party an account to debit against the call. A method for the same is also disclosed.
