This invention concerns a process for levying distance-dependent charges in cellular communication networks in which each call or attempted call between a mobile station and a subscriber of a fixed network is identified by the service exchange which initiates an IN-query to a service control point. There, the corresponding service exchange processes the IN-service in the course of which the service exchange is asked, among other things, to transmit the number being called and the location of the calling mobile radio subscriber to the service control point. On the basis of the data transferred, the distance between the calling and the called subscriber is determined at the service control point, assigned to a corresponding rate zone and noted in the billing record. Subsequently, the data are transferred to a billing center and a data post-processing system which can levy charges based on time and distance on the basis of the billing data record. |
