Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a method and a system for revaluing prepaid telephone accounts, such as used in mobile telephony.
  • a user of a mobile prepaid telephone can revalue his telephone account by calling a predetermined number to contact the telephone service provider, usually by means of a computer server.
  • the user will have to buy a calling card with a given value at a store (general store or a store dedicated to selling prepaid telephone cards).
  • a store generally store or a store dedicated to selling prepaid telephone cards.
  • a code identified on the card previously purchased usually by scratching off a debradable layer over a printed code and inputting the code on the telephone keypad
  • the telephone account of the user is revalued with the given value.
  • a user of a mobile telephone does not always buy calling cards in advance. Also, it may happen that in a certain period, a mobile telephone user utilises the mobile telephone more than planned, resulting a much quicker consumption of the prepaid account. At the moment that the prepaid account is very low or zero, the user can no longer make any telephone calls (except emergency calls). As the case may be, the user may also not be able to buy a new calling card at that time or at the user's present position.
  • the present invention seeks to provide a method and a system for enabling a mobile telephone user to augment his prepaid account anywhere and anytime he/she wants.
  • the present invention provides a method as defined above, comprising the steps of receiving a first code from a telephone user, receiving a telephone number associated with the telephone user (e.g. by using calling line identification CLI or direct input from the user), and sending a revalue message to the telephone user after checking that the first code matches with the telephone number.
  • the method comprises the further step of receiving the predetermined amount from the telephone user.
  • the telephone user may benefit from the present method by being able to revalue or augment his prepaid telephone account whenever he wants, without the need to buy separate calling cards at a local store and calling his mobile telephony service provider.
  • An intermediate vendor of prepaid account credits does not have to keep a large number of calling cards in stock, only a (computer) file or database with registered customers (combinations of telephone number and first codes) and account credit information (a plurality of valid revalue codes or any other representation of a period of time, such as a time slice or time package).
  • the telephone service providers have the benefit that large amounts of prepaid telephone credits may be bought by the intermediate service provider, shifting the risk of distributing the prepaid telephone credits to the intermediate service provider.
  • the revalue message may be in the form of a voice message or in the form of a data message, such as an SMS message.
  • the option with data messages is preferred, as this option enables the user to simply save the information in the user's mobile telephone.
  • the revalue message comprises a second code, the second code being one of a plurality of valid revalue codes.
  • the valid revalue code may be a regular revalue code, but also any other representation of an amount of .credit, such as a period of time, a time slice or a time package. This enables that the intermediate vendor only has to maintain a list of valid revalue codes (e.g. in a computer database or file) instead of a large stock of cards, which may e.g. be stolen or damaged. For the telephone user it is simple to augment his prepaid telephone account using the second code.
  • the method comprises the further steps of sending a revalue request to a telephone service provider after checking that the first code matches with the telephone number, the request comprising the predetermined amount, the telephone number and a second code, the second code being equal to one of a plurality of valid revalue codes, the revalue message being sent after receiving an acknowledgement from the telephone service provider that the prepaid telephone account has been revalued, the revalue message comprising an acknowledgement.
  • the user only has to contact the intermediate service provider and provide a first code (such a PIN code) to revalue the prepaid account.
  • the intermediate service provider forwards a second code (which may be a regular revalue code, but also any other representation of an amount of credit, such as a period of time, a time slice or a time package) to the telephone service provider, without the telephone user being aware of it.
  • a second code which may be a regular revalue code, but also any other representation of an amount of credit, such as a period of time, a time slice or a time package
  • the method comprises the further steps of, between receiving the first code from the telephone user and sending the revalue message to the telephone user, sending a pre-recorded message to the telephone user.

  • An intermediate service provider may utilise such a system for providing a revalue possibility of prepaid accounts of telephone users.
  • the telephone user may revalue a prepaid account whenever he wants, without the need to buy separate calling cards at a local store and calling his mobile telephony service provider.
