Description
ILD Teleservices is a leading payment processor for transactions between merchants and consumers. Through contractual relationships with telephone companies like AT&T and Verizon, ILD gives merchants the opportunity to let consumers charge products and services such as long distance, internet access, collect calling, and certain digital content directly to their phone bills.
Instead of purchasing these items with a credit card, disclosing banking accounts or financial information to the merchant, consumers can have a transaction billed directly to their phone. When they do, the merchant sends the buyers transaction information to ILD, and ILD adds the charge to their phone bill. It is a service very similar to what credit card companies provide.
A visual map on the company's website illustrates the role ILD plays in payment processing. ILD Teleservices has partnered with more than 200 merchant to offer bill to phone payment services, and its network includes more than 1,400 Local Exchange Carriers, including AT&T, Verizon, Qwest, Embarq and others. ILD Teleservices processes in excess of 120 million transactions per year, equating to approximately $.5 billion of third party charges placed on telephone bills.
ILD Teleservices is a division of ILD Corp., a privately owned and US based outsourcing services company headquartered in Ponte Vedra Beach, Florida.

Famous quotes containing the word description:
“Whose are the truly labored sentences? From the weak and flimsy periods of the politician and literary man, we are glad to turn even to the description of work, the simple record of the month’s labor in the farmer’s almanac, to restore our tone and spirits.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“It [Egypt] has more wonders in it than any other country in the world and provides more works that defy description than any other place.”
—Herodotus (c. 484–424 B.C.)
“The next Augustan age will dawn on the other side of the Atlantic. There will, perhaps, be a Thucydides at Boston, a Xenophon at New York, and, in time, a Virgil at Mexico, and a Newton at Peru. At last, some curious traveller from Lima will visit England and give a description of the ruins of St. Paul’s, like the editions of Balbec and Palmyra.”
—Horace Walpole (1717–1797)
