Abstract

The patent specification discloses a method of communicating a communication charge which has been provisioned in respect of a particular communication node in a communications network and for a particular time period to a user of a mobile communication device, which includes making available for display on a display screen associated with a mobile communication device operated within the communications network an indication of the current communication charge and an indication of a future communication charge for a future time period. It also extends to providing an association between a particular entity and a provisioned communication charge.
