ABSTRACT:
Method and system for handling a service request from an originating station (ST-A) to a terminating station (ST-B) in a telecommunications system managing service logic for accounting information for payment of services.A service request is received from an originating station (ST-A) indicating an identifier of a terminating station (ST-B). The service request is checked against number portability information related to the identifier of the terminating station (ST-B), and against accounting information of the originating station (ST-A). The service can proceed without further queries for number portability.A service request is received for a terminating station (ST-B) indicating an identifier of an originating station (ST-A). Accounting information of the terminating station (ST-B) is updated according to number portability information related to the identifier of the originating station (ST-A).Accounting information can be stored in a payment server (PS), such as, for example, a pre-paid server storing accounting information for pre-paid subscriptions.
