Embodiment Construction

[0032] First, the general structure of the communications equipment, including an Intelligent Network (IN), which allows charging for switching and calling, will refer to figure 1 Description is given in order to give a better understanding of the basis of the invention.

[0033] figure 1 is a schematic diagram representing the physical architecture of the Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN), providing communication links between the subscriber or its subscribers. The PSTN includes a plurality of local exchanges 100 and 102 and a plurality of transit exchanges 120 . The local exchange and the transit exchange are interconnected with each other through the trunk line 110 . The trunk line 110 also provides interconnection between different local exchanges and between different local exchanges. Subscribers 104 are connected to local exchanges 100, 102 via subscriber lines 106, and although only a limited number of subscriber terminals are shown connected to the PSTN, it s...

Abstract

The present invention relates to a communications system and a method for the same. The invention relates further to a method and an arrangement for paying calls and / or service, and an intelligent network. The method for paying calls in a telecommunications network is used in an intelligent network environment provided with user accounts for individual users. Said user accounts enableprepaid calls and / or an access to various services. The method comprises steps for accessing a loading service through a user interface operationally connected to the intelligent network, accomplishing a loading of a requested amount of balance into a user account of an individual user by means of the user interface and the loading service. The loading stage comprises steps of decreasing the requested amount from a record in the intelligent network indicating an amount of prepaid balance which said user has paid beforehand by buying a voucher or similar, said record being dedicated to said voucher or similar, and loading a corresponding amount of balance into the user account of the individual authorized user requesting the loading operation.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates particularly, but not exclusively, to a method of enabling payment for calls and / or services by using IN services in communications. The invention also relates to an arrangement for facilitating payment of calls and / or services by means of a communication device. Background technique [0002] Telephone services and calls can be billed in various optional ways. Typically charging or billing is based on the call time used. In many instances, it is desirable to be able to charge the price of the call up front, so that the operator avoids the loss of credit for unpaid bills, especially if the calling party is not an actual user of a particular operator (i.e. no agreement has been entered into with that operator). . [0003] The conventional way of calling prepaid is the public coin (or paper money) telephone. But these require many repairs and services. Additionally, some users may find it inconvenient to carry coins. The amount...
