ABSTRACT:
The invention relates to a method, an apparatus and an arrangement for calculating the value of an amount in a first currency in terms of a desired second currency. The method comprises the steps of entering the value of an amount in the first currency into a controller of a receiver. A scaling factor describing a conversion between at least two different public land mobile network (PLMN) units is retrieved from a memory within the receiver. The amount of the first currency is then converted to the equivalent amount of the second currency by the controller which is adapted to use the scaling factor for the conversion. Finally, a user interface of the receiver is used to inform the user of the conversion result. The apparatus performing the inventive method is included in a mobile station and the arrangement is included in a PLMN.
