A method for facilitating the establishment of a data connection between a first mobile device in a first public land mobile network (PLMN) of a plurality of public land mobile networks (PLMNs) and a destination in a packet data network via centralised infrastructure, the centralised infrastructure comprising a gateway module and a credit control module in communication with the gateway module, the gateway module being in communication with the destination and one or more serving modules of each of the plurality of PLMNs, the credit control module being adapted to generate charging data records for devices in each of the plurality of PLMNs, the method comprising:
receiving, at the gateway module, a connection establishment request for establishing a connection between the first mobile device and the destination;
enabling a connection to be established between the first mobile device and the destination;
monitoring the established connection, and based on the monitoring, maintaining one or more usage states; and
generating, by the credit control module, one or more charging data records associated with the first mobile device based on the monitored usage states and the first PLMN, in which the first device is located. |
