an access code and

an identity linked to a computing device;

wherein the access code is associated with the access-restricted digital resource,

restricted from being accessed via the computing device;

receiving, by the access controlling platform a mobile originating communication having data that comprises:

a particular access code and

a particular identity;

performing, by the access controlling platform, a confirmation of the expectation data record with the mobile originating communication based on:

the access code,

the identity linked to the computing device,

the particular access code, and

the particular identity;

when the confirmation is successful:

instructing, by the access controlling platform, a cellular communications network to perform, based on at least one part of the data, at least one action with the cellular network hosted access controlling schema to generate a session record associated with the particular identity; and

instructing, by the access controlling platform, the computing device, at least one other computing device controlling the access-restricted digital resource, or both, to unlock the access-restricted digital resource for accessing via the computing device.

2. The method of claim 1 ,

wherein the mobile originating communication is a telephone call; and

wherein the instructing, by the access controlling platform, the cellular communications network to perform at least one action further comprises:

instructing, by the access controlling platform, the cellular communications network to:

answer the telephone call and

release the telephone call momentarily thereafter, once sufficient time passes to generate the session record associated with the particular identity.

3. The method of claim 2 , wherein the sufficient time is less than 1 second.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the identity is:

a cellular identity or

derived from the cellular identity; and

wherein the cellular identity identifies:

a cellular device that is programmatically associated with the computing device or the computing device that is a cellular service-enabled device.

an International Mobile Subscriber Identity (IMSI),

a cryptographically hashed IMSI,

a Mobile Station International Subscriber Directory Number (MSISDN), or

a cryptographically hashed MSISDN.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the access-restricted digital resource comprises at least one of:

an access-restricted internet content or

an access-restricted internet service.

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the mobile originating communication is in accordance with at least one of:

a mobile originating cellular communications protocol or

a communications protocol of a transmission control protocol/Internet protocol (TCP/IP) suite.

8. The method of claim 7 , wherein the mobile originating cellular communications protocol is one of:

a Telephone call setup request,

a Short Message Service request, or

an Unstructured Supplementary Services Data request.

9. The method of claim 1 , wherein the mobile originating communication comprises symbolically prefixed address signals specifying the access code.

10. The method of claim 1 ,

wherein the cellular network hosted access controlling schema is configured to accept the at least one part of the data for generating the session record in a cellular account associated with the identity.

11. The method of claim 10 , wherein the session record comprises an access charge for accessing the access-restricted digital resource via the computing device.

12. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

transmitting, by the access controlling platform to the computing device, prior to the receiving the expectation data record, at least one application program instruction to display the access code on a screen of the computing device in a visual association with a visual indication of the access-restricted digital resource.

13. The method of claim 12 , wherein the at least one application program instruction further instructs the computing device to display the access code: on a access controller interface element or in a visual vicinity of the access controller interface element; and

wherein the access controller interface element is in the visual association with the visual indication of the access-restricted digital resource.

14. The method of claim 1 , wherein the performing of the confirmation, further comprising:

confirming, by the access controlling platform, that the mobile originating communication have been received within a predetermined time period from the generating of the expectation data record.

15. A system comprising:

at least one processor of an access controlling platform;

wherein the at least one processor is in communication with a non-transitory computer readable medium storing software instructions that, when being executed by the at least one processor, instruct the access controlling platform to:
