Abstract

See full text

Subscribers of a wireless communication services network can check their account balances in a real-time interactive environment. A subscriber requests balance information for the subscriber's account using a mobile wireless device. The request may be made using a single-key interface on the subscriber's wireless device. In response to the request, a billing system queries a subscriber database and obtains the subscriber's account balance. The balance information is then returned to the subscriber as a page of information, such as a WAP page. The billing system may implement a feature that charges subscribers for checking their balances if certain criteria are met.
