Inmates place free incoming calls to a call processing system and are prompted to choose between accessing a voice mail system and calling an outside party. If an outside party is to be called, an inmate provides a phone number and an outgoing call is placed to the outside party. If the outside party provides payment for the call, the inmate is connected to the outgoing call and the incoming call is terminated. If the outgoing call is not accepted, the inmate may record a voice message for the outside party in a voice mailbox assigned to the inmate. For an access fee, the outside party may access the voice mailbox assigned to the inmate. Advertising messages may be presented to inmates during incoming calls and/or to outside parties during outgoing calls. Advertising revenue may cover incoming call charges. Inmates and/or outside parties may record voice messages for advertisers.

Prior to establishing a collect call, the called party agrees to pay an additional fee for any three-way call that may be established during the proposed collect call. If during the collect call, the called party attempts to add a third party to the collect call, a call processing system determines whether the third party's phone number is blocked from accepting a collect call. If the third party's phone number is blocked from accepting a collect call, the number will be dialed in an attempt to establish a three-way call. If the third person's phone number is not blocked from accepting a collect call, the called party to the original collect call will be advised that the phone number entered is not eligible for three-ways calling during the collect call, and the parties to the original collect call will be reconnected. If the original collect call originates from a custodial facility, the call processing system may additionally verify that that the original calling party is not disallowed from dialing any entered number, including the original called party's phone number and any subsequent third party's phone number that may be entered by the original called party, prior to the call processing system dialing said number(s). Service providers, by selectively allowing a three-way call during a collect call, to add a third party whose phone line is blocked from accepting a collect call, will earn revenues from communications that may never otherwise take place.

Using this invention, the beneficiary receives the selected item, has a payment made at a discount, and the cardholder receives cash at the card's purchase interest rate. Two or more cardholders may be allowed to bid to make the beneficiary's purchase or payment. The winning bid may be selected based on the cardholder bid having the largest discount from the purchase price.

An inmate calls a call processing system and provides two phone numbers to it. The first phone number is for a 2nd Party who will accept the inmate's collect call and who will agree to pay any additional charge for adding a third party to the collect call. The second phone number is for a 3rd Party the inmate would like added to the collect call. The call processing system places the inmate on hold while the system dials the 2nd Party. When the 2nd Party accepts the inmate's collect call and agrees to pay for an additional fee for establishing a three-way call during the collect call, the inmate is taken off hold and is connected to the 2nd Party.

System and method provide for making a synthetic cash advance to a credit cardholder via a purchase-payment exchange. A second person selects an item to be purchased by a cardholder for the second person, and in exchange for the cardholder's credit card purchase, the second person pays the cardholder an amount of money that is less than the amount charged to the cardholder's credit card. Using this invention, the second person receives the selected item (or has a payment made) at a discount, and the cardholder is able to transform a credit card purchase into a synthetic cash advance at the credit card's purchase interest rate. Two or more cardholders may bid in an online auction to complete the second person's financial transaction in exchange for the second person's money. A cardholder who submits a conforming bid, that is willing to accept the least amount of money, may be selected as the auction winner.
