Communication networks and associated methods and systems are disclosed that provide per-session dynamic charging caps. For a session, the communication network includes a network element adapted to serve the session, a charging system, and a subscriber server adapted to store charging criteria defined for a party to the session. In operation, the charging system receives one or more charging request messages from the network element. Responsive to a charging request message, the charging system identifies the charging criteria defined for the party as stored in the subscriber server, and determines a dynamic charging cap for the session based on the charging criteria. A charging cap is a limited or maximum amount of time and/or money that is charged for an individual session. The charging system then limits the charging for the session based on the dynamic charging cap.

A communication management system receives, from a local cellular network operator, a communication indicating that a payment has been made to the local cellular network operator for a mobile device using a local communication profile. The communication management system identifies, based on the local communication profile, a home communication profile of the mobile device. The home communication profile is associated with a home cellular network operator that is distinct from the local cellular network operator. The communication management system sends, to the home cellular network operator, a request to add funds to a prepaid account that is associated with the home communication profile of the mobile device.

A method for re-rating a prepaid user is proposed in the present invention. Compared with prior prepaid systems, the present invention introduces new functional entities, i.e. a re-rating management apparatus and an offline charging apparatus, and enhances the existing functional-entity, i.e. the online charging apparatus. The online charging apparatus rates call detail records comprised in an received online charging request to generate rated call detail records, and sends—the rated call detail records to the re-rating management apparatus; periodically backs up account profile, and sends the backed up account profile to the re-rating management apparatus; the re-rating management apparatus triggers re-rating, sends a re-rating request to the offline charging apparatus; the offline charging apparatus generates re-rated call detail records after re-calculating, the call detail records, and sends the re-rated call detail records to the re-rating management apparatus; and the re-rating management apparatus updates account profile in accordance with the re-rated call detail records, and sends the updated account profile to the online charging apparatus. By using the method of the present invention, the re-rating function can be implemented for the prepaid user without affecting the real-time use by the prepaid user, and the problems occurring in the convergence of a prepaid charging system and a postpaid charging system can be solved. 1. A method for re-rating a prepaid user implemented in a first apparatus , the method comprising:rating a call detail record comprised in a received online charging request to generate a rated call detail record, and updating account profile of the user at the same time; andsending to a second apparatus a rating information transmission request message comprising the rated call detail records,the method further comprising:periodically storing the account profile, and sending to the second apparatus an account profile transmission request ...

A method and corresponding apparatus for providing a cellular subscriber with access to a WLAN are provided. They involve identifying a multimode mobile terminal, which corresponds to the subscriber and the WLAN from an access request. Based on the identification, the WLAN is authorized to provide the mobile terminal with access. The mobile terminal is then provided with access to the WLAN as a cellular subscriber and enables interoperability between the two networks. For example, the subscriber does not have to supply a credit card to pay for WLAN access directly. Instead, the subscriber pays a cellular network provider, and, in turn, the cellular network provider pays a WLAN provider for the access.

A method allows a sender to buy goods or services for a third party immediately on an established account of the sender even before the sender pays for the expense occurred. The system works particularly well for purchases of mobile telephone airtime for others. In addition, the method works equally well for purchases of small amounts. The method utilizes SIMS protocol to send purchase orders in the form of text messages. The method takes advantage of existing technologies and contractual relationships that SIMS aggregators have with carriers. The method allows brokers to buy large quantities of goods and services such as mobile telephone airtime at discounted wholesale prices and then resell them in smaller quantities at higher retail prices.
