ABSTRACT:
A public switched telephone network having an advanced intelligent network and intelligent peripheral is utilized to provide a work-at-home office for one or more employees of one or more companies wherein those work-at-home employees are enabled to place business calls from their residence telephones with automatic billing of such calls to the employer. One residence directory number may be utilized by multiple work-at-home employees who may be employed by multiple employers. The work-at-home employees utilize personal identification numbers in conjunction with residence directory number identification in such a manner that the placement of the call and entry of the PIN identify the employer billing directory number to be charged. System administration is arranged so that the service may be activated or deactivated by a system administrator connecting with the intelligent peripheral from an authorized directory number and providing an activating-deactivating signal.
