ABSTRACT:
Billing for information and/or interactive services provided to a user over the Internet by an information service provider (ISP) is arranged by the user by placing a virtual billing telephone call to a 900 telephone number associated with the ISP for such billing purposes. The cost to the user for the 900 number billing telephone call, which is determined by the ISP, represents the charge for receiving the information and/or interactive services from the ISP, and is billed to the user's telephone number account. The ISP's 900 number account is credited by the telephone company for the call and thus for the information and/or interactive services provided.
