REPORTING CREDIT/CHARGING INFORMATION TO A MOBILE SUBSCRIBER

摘要

A method for transmitting prepaid charging/credit information to a mobile station (MS). The available credit information can be sent to the mobile station by detecting a termination (2-10) of a call chargeable to the subscriber of the mobile station (MS); and in response to the detecting, sending the credit information to the mobile station (MS) as a connectionless message (2-26), preferably as a short message or a USSD message. Optionally, resources allocated to the call are released (2-18) with sufficient delay for sending the connectionless message without paging the mobile station (MS) separately.
