A system and method for providing prepaid wireless services. One embodiment includes a mobile unit configured to maintain an amount of time units for which the mobile unit is authorized to utilize wireless services. The amount of time units is preferably prepaid for by the customer. The mobile unit prevents utilization of wireless services upon the expiration of the amount of prepaid time units. Furthermore, it is preferred that a prepaid application server receive notification from the wireless service provider of the use of time units by the mobile unit. In this manner, the prepaid application server may monitor the availability of time units and prevent fraudulent use when the amount of prepaid time units expire.

L'invention concerne un système et un procédé permettant de fournir des services sans fil à prépaiement. Dans une forme de réalisation, ce système comprend une unité mobile conçue pour stocker une certaine quantité d'unités de temps pendant lesquelles l'unité mobile est autorisée à utiliser les services sans fil. La quantité d'unités de temps est de préférence prépayée par le client. L'unité mobile empêche l'utilisation des services sans fil après expiration des unités de temps prépayées. En outre, le fournisseur de services sans fil notifie de préférence l'utilisation des unités de temps par l'unité mobile au serveur d'application de prépaiement. Le serveur d'application de prépaiement peut ainsi contrôler la disponibilité des unités de temps et empêcher l'utilisation frauduleuse des services après l'expiration des unités de temps prépayées.
