Embodiment Construction

[0055] Referring now to FIG. 1 , there is shown a block diagram of a conventional circuit switched telephone network 100 using a prepaid billing system 108 in accordance with the prior art. Those skilled in the art will appreciate that this block diagram presents a somewhat simplified view and does not show all network elements. Those skilled in the art will also appreciate that network 106 provides signaling and voice paths, and may suitably be a first or second generation (so-called 1g or 2g network), such as a Global System for Mobile Communications (GSM) network or other similar network of.

[0056] Although not shown, network 106 may also provide access to packet data services via a packet-switched data network. However, those skilled in the art will understand that current 1g or 2g networks cannot use both circuit switched and packet data networks.

[0057] The user of the mobile phone 102 is a subscriber to the telephone network 106 and has a prepaid subscriber accoun...

Abstract

According to one aspect of the present invention, there is provided a method, in a billing system, of supplying information to a communication device, comprising, in response to receiving a request, over a first network, to authorize a communication with the communication device: obtaining information relevant to the communication; and providing the obtained information to the communication device via a second network.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to the field of communication systems, and more particularly, the present invention relates to methods and apparatus for providing information, such as financial information, to communication devices. Background technique [0002] Access to communication services using communication devices is generally subject to communication fees levied on users by communication network providers. For example, in the case of conventional fixed or mobile telephone networks, charges are charged whenever the user is charge-incurring for use of the network. For example, fee-incurring usage occurs when a user calls a non-toll-free number or when a user accesses a data network, such as the Internet, and the like. [0003] In order to use a communications network, such as a telephone network, a user is generally required to be a network subscriber and have an account with the telephone network operator, such that any charges incurred through ...
