Abstract: Methods are disclosed for providing prepaid telephony service via an Internet protocol (IP) network system. A first method provides controlling at least one media agent or call routing station/switch of an IP network system for allowing and/or blocking call media streams from traversing through the media agent. A second method provides directing all signaling messages transmitted by a signaling agent or station and all media packets transmitting voice and data communications through at least one common device within the IP network system. The methods further provide for continuously monitoring a subscriber's account balance and terminating the prepaid telephony service if the account balance is less than a predetermined amount.

Abstract: A method is implemented in a credit control server (CCS). The method includes receiving, at the CCS from a credit control client (CCC), a message associated with a multiple services credit control (MSCC) session, where the message includes a request for service units associated with a service account. The method further includes determining, at the CCS, that insufficient service units are available in the service account and notifying the CCC that service units need to be added to the service account. The method also includes maintaining, at the CCS, MSCC session related parameters while the CCC adds service units to the service account.

Abstract: An automatic refill system for pre-paid accounts provides enhanced funding flexibility for customers and additional revenue streams for a telecommunication service provider. The automatic refill system solves the technical challenges involved with implementing a scheduled refill channel co-existing with a triggered refill channel for funding a pre-paid account. The scheduled channel regularly refills the pre-paid account. The telecommunication service provider also coordinates funding through a triggered refill channel that refills the pre-paid account when specific conditions are met, such as account balance falling below a threshold.

Abstract: A method and system adapted for use in a mobile telecommunication network is described. The invention describes a rating and routing system which is adapted to enable an efficient rating and routing of data transactions being transmitted through a network. Based on a comparison of identifiers associatable with a subscriber to the network, with a set of parameters defined for data transactions, the system of the present invention is adapted to enable an accurate assessment and allocation of the correct rating tariff value to a specific transaction and the routing of that rated value to an appropriate destination defined for the user.

Abstract: a mobile subscriber enters a WLAN hotspot and finds a premium SMS number advertised to allow ASR access. The subscriber composes an SMS on their mobile device 1 containing a username selected by the subscriber and sends it to the premium SMS number. The SMS is delivered via the SMSC 2 in the mobile network to the SMS ASR Access Interface 4. Information such as the mobile subscriber's MSISDN and selected username are extracted from the SMS and submitted to the ASR application 12 in an access request operation. The ASR application interfaces to the pre-paid system 5 and checks whether a DN access account already exists for the subscriber for the WLAN in question. If no such account exists, it is created by the ASR application and a credit amount as appropriate to the premium SMS number is added to the account. The ASR then sends confirmation of the DN access account to the mobile subscriber via SMS using the SMS ASR Access Interface.

Abstract: The invention concerns a method for crediting a prepaid account through a telecommunication network which consists in: recording in a terminal SIM card storage data identifying at least a banking card. When executing a programme stored in the card, transmitting to the prepaid account management service the data identifying the banking card or one of the banking cards and the desired amount to be credited. The prepaid account management service verifies the validity of the banking card, requests authorisation for the desired amount to be credited, and sends to the terminal SIM card report of the transaction (confirmation/failure).
