The application relates to an evolved telecommunication network including three layers: a service bearer layer, a service control layer, and a charging layer. In such a network, a device in the service control layer (service control NE device) sends a service reminder through a short message sending module to a subscriber party, e.g. "you have successfully subscribed the RBT music xyz", and a device in the charging layer, an online charging system network element device (OCS NE device) sends a charging information reminder to the subscriber party, e.g. "the tariff is 2.00 yuan". Therefore, the subscriber party may receive two short message reminders successively which might confuse the subscriber party.
This problem is solved in that the charging information reminder is sent from the OCS NE device to the service control NE device which combines this reminding content with its own reminding content and sends only one reminding message to the subscriber party.
The method includes the following steps: a charging network element (NE) device packages the content for reminding a subscriber in a message and sends the packaged message to a service control NE device. After receiving the packaged message, the service control NE device extracts the content for reminding the subscriber, generates a reminding message according to the extracted content and sends the reminding message to a subscriber party. The system includes a charging NE device and a service control NE device. The charging NE device includes a judgment module, a packaging module and a sending module. The service control NE device includes a receiving module, an extraction module, a message generating module and a message sending module.
