METHOD AND COMMUNICATION DEVICE FOR USING A FIRST SERVICE BASED ON AN ACCOUNT CHARGEABLE WITH THE USE OF A SECOND SERVICE

摘要

A method for provisioning services to a subscriber comprises: receiving an indication of use of a first service by the subscriber; and upon receipt of the indication, checking if an account of the subscriber comprises a sufficient number of credits for allowing the subscriber to use the first service; if the number of credits is not sufficient, pushing a second service to the subscriber according to a predetermined contract between the subscriber and a network operator so as to increment the number of credits in the account for allowing the first service to proceed. A network node, for carrying out this method, comprises a processor for receiving the indication of use of the first service and a service function to check the number of credits in the account and to push the second service if the number of credits is not sufficient in the account.
