Patent ID: 7274928

Claim:
A communication system, comprising: a system server having a plurality of algorithmically generated sequential single use server communication units, each of the plurality of algorithmically generated single use sequential server communication units defining a discrete increment of authorized communication; a plurality of assignable wireless identification numbers and associated directory numbers; a plurality of initial wireless identification numbers and associated initial directory numbers; a portable wireless phone comprising wireless phone circuitry, and initially identified with one of the initial wireless identification numbers and associated one of the initial directory numbers; means for transmitting the initial wireless identification number from the portable wireless phone to the system server upon initial activation of the portable wireless phone; and means for assigning one of the wireless identification numbers and associated one of the directory numbers to the portable wireless phone, based upon an appropriate authorization message; wherein the portable wireless phone further comprises an energy storage, and an airtime cartridge, the airtime cartridge having an airtime cartridge identifier, and a plurality of algorithmically generated sequential pre-paid single use airtime communication units, each of the plurality of algorithmically generated prepaid single use communication units matching each of the corresponding plurality of algorithmically generated sequential server communication units at the system server, each of the plurality of algorithmically generated pre-paid single use airtime communication units defining a discrete increment of authorized communication, each of the plurality of algorithmically generated pre-paid single use communication units having a unique identifier; whereby sequential transmission of one or more of the algorithmically generated pre-paid single use airtime communication units having unique identifiers from the portable wireless phone during a communication session to the system server is matched to the corresponding algorithmically generated sequential single use server communication units at the system server, in which the system server allocates the defined discrete increment of authorized communication for the portable wireless phone during the communication session, based upon the matching of each of the corresponding algorithmically generated single use server communication units and the algorithmically generated pre-paid single use airtime communication units.
