Telephone calls made from a first account, such as a wireless or wireline account, are completed by bridging the call into a second telephone account, such as a different wireless or wireline account, from which the destination is ultimately reached. Benefits associated with the second telephone account from which the call is completed are applicable even though the call originated from the first account. When bridging into the second account, an identification is provided to a bridging platform. The identification may include a number automatically submitted in response to placing the call into the platform such as a mobile identification number of a wireless device or an automatic number identification, and/or the identification may include a personal identification code manually submitted by the calling party. The identification is looked-up to find the corresponding second telephone account so that the call can be completed to the destination from the platform based on use of the second telephone account that has been found.
