Abstract
A method for generating billing information for a call in a telecommunications network is disclosed. In one embodiment, a call initiation stimulus is received at a service switching system (112). The service switching system (112) notifies a service control system (104) of the call initiation stimulus. The service control system (104) generates a first TCAP connect message with a destination routing address portion having a billing information tag and customer billing information. The first TCAP connect message is transmitted to the service switching system (112), which transmits a response message to the service control system (104). The service control system (104) transmits a second TCAP connect message to the service switching system (112) in response to the response message. The service switching system (112) generates a billing record in response to the first TCAP connect message. The method provides for the generation and storing of billing information using standard SS7 signaling, message protocols and call detail record formats, and using any proprietary switch.
