A call made from a customer station or using a customer calling card or prepaid telephone card is received at a network switch and record that describes the call is generated. The record is received at a billing analysis system and a priced call value for the call is determined based on the record and the information specifying the customer billing plan. If the call is placed using a prepaid telephone card, it is verified that a sufficient balance remains before completing the call.
