Abstract

See full text

Charging details are produced for customers in response to their use of telecommunications services. Details of call items for a customer are compiled and a plurality of call types (73, 75, 77) are defined. Each call item is identified as belonging to one of these call types and a notional charge is calculated for each item. Notional charges for each item are accumulated and call categories are defined, wherein at least one of said call categories has a discount rate associated therewith. Accumulated call type values are then mapped onto category accumulators in response to customer reference data.
