Abstract
Subscribers of a wireless communication service may select from a number of bundled service plans, wherein a recurring charge is paid from prepaid accounts by the subscribers in exchange for a bundled package of services. If a subscriber does not have sufficient value in the subscriber's account to pay the recurring charge for the selected bundled service plan, the subscriber's account is automatically stepped down to a different plan that includes fewer or no bundled services and that may charge more per use of the services. If the subscriber subsequently adds sufficient funds to the account to pay for the originally selected service plan, the subscriber may be re-enrolled in that originally selected bundled service plan.
