Patent

CA 2169102

A method is described for completing calls to wireless communications customers.A database is queried to determine whether to bill the calling party or the called party for communication charges (e.g., airtime charges) associated with the wireless communication service. When the query indicates that the calling party is to be billed for those communications charges, a telecommunications switch which received the call from the calling party is instructed to record information to be used in billing the calling party for the charges. At the same time, the wireless switch that normally would bill the called party for the charges is instructed to suppress billing of the called party for the charges. The billing instruction is sent to the wireless switch in a signaling message using a message parameter that is unaffected by intermediate (e.g., local exchange carrier) switches.

Méthode permettant de réaliser des appels vers des clients de communications sans fil. Une base de données est interrogée afin de déterminer si les frais de communication (temps de communication) associés au service de communications sans fil doivent être facturés à l'appelant ou à l'appelé. Lorsque le résultat de l'interrogation indique que les frais de communication doivent être facturés à l'appelant, le commutateur de télécommunication qui a reçu l'appel de l'appelant reçoit l'instruction d'enregistrer l'information qui sera utilisée pour facturer à l'appelant les frais de communication. En même temps, le commutateur de communications sans fil qui facturerait normalement à l'appelé les frais de communication reçoit l'instruction d'éliminer la facturation des frais à l'appelé. L'instruction de facturation est envoyée au commutateur de communications sans fil dans un message de signalisation contenant un paramètre qui n'est pas touché par les commutateurs intermédiaires (p. ex. ceux des exploitants de centraux urbains).
