Abstract
A method of providing a call return service wherein a first party, at a first customer premises equipment device, requests a service session with a first party service provider and enters an address for a second party, is provided. The service session signals a second customer premises equipment device at a second party, and a request is made on behalf of one of the parties to provide a directed call return service. The method further includes submitting, to the first party service provider, an authorization from the first party that the second party may direct a return call through the first party service provider while allowing the first party service provider to direct any charges for the return call to the first party.
