A destination telephony device, responsive to detecting a call between a caller at an origin telephony device and a callee at the destination telephony device within a trusted telephone network, authenticates an identity of the callee with a callee voice authenticated identifier through a voice sample provided by the callee during the call. The destination telephony device receives an order form from the origin device for an order placed with the caller by the callee from the destination telephony device. The destination telephony device controls output of the order form from at least one output interface of the destination telephony device. The destination telephony device, responsive to receiving a single entry by a callee to complete the order, generates an authorization for the billing service to bill for the order from the billing plan according to the callee voice authenticated identifier in the order form, wherein authorized access to the billing plan is allowed according to the callee voice authenticated identifier and not according to account numbers.

The present invention provides a method and apparatus for determining whether a party initiating a telephone call is on a list of parties authorized by the called party. If the calling party is not on the list of authorized parties, a fee is charged to the calling party. All or a portion of this fee may be paid to the called party or may be applied to the called party's telephone service billing account to reduce the called party's telephone bill. Preferably, the present invention is implemented at the called party's central office, i.e., at the central office which services the called party. In accordance with common-channel signaling, commonly referred to as signaling system 7 (SS7), the calling party's telephone number and identity are received in the call signaling data transmitted to the central office which services the called party. Processing equipment located at the called party's central office is programmed to compare the calling party's identity and/or telephone number with a list of authorized identities and/or telephone numbers associated with the called party to determine whether the calling party is an authorized party.
