Based on the parameters, a unique identifier associated with the service is generated. The identifier contains e.g. a component specifying the service and an unambiguous running numeric component. According to the invention, a message of a given format is sent by means of the first telecommunication terminal to the billing server (6) over the first telecommunication network (1) and the sender of the message is billed in accordance with the normal subscriber invoicing practice of the first telecommunication network (1).
