    Abstract: An apparatus, method, and article of manufacture that provides an efficient way to invoice the users of a communication system 100 for the system resources consumed. 5 Invoicing is based upon flexible criteria that can be adapted depending upon the charges a resource provider charges. For example, a user may incur a one-time charge for downloading a desired application program, or the user may be charged a download fee plus a recurring monthly fee for having continual access to the program and any updates to the program. A fee might also be charged for each time 10 the application is used. These fees are recorded as debits and transferred to an invoicing location where an invoice reflecting the debits is constructed. For example, the debits may comprise fees for wireless service access, Internet service access, downloaded application programs, data, multimedia services, or other fees.

    Abstract: A telecommunications device and/or service enable a user to establish and maintain a profile which is then associated with the user or the user' s tele-communication device (the 'calling device'). The profile is stored on a profile server that is in communication with the telecommunications service provider. A receiving device receives a call from the calling device and is provided with the profile during call set-up. Some or all of the profile is used in connection with the incoming call on the receiving device. This feature is known as Enhanced Caller-ID or RCLID (Rich Calling Line Identification). Description focuses on mobile networks and the calling and called devices being mobile devices. The profile server is connected to the wireless network via a WAN (internet).
