Abstract
Embodiments of the invention provide a system and method for providing call connections between a calling party and a verified called party. A person-to-person account is identified for the called party. An answering party is prompted to provide identification information. The identification information is compared to data in the person-to-person account. The call connection is not completed unless the called party's identity is verified.
