Electronic call credits and call connections to be charged thereto are purchased by a customer for a recipient through the Internet (26) and sent via email to the recipient. The recipient requests a call by activating an icon (76) associated with the email. An application server (22) receives the request and sends a call request message via the Internet to a call control node (24) associated with a switched telephone network (25). The call control node initiates actions in the switched telephone network to set up a telephone communication between the recipient and a party to be called. A cost of the communication is deducted from a value of the electronic call credits. |
