ABSTRACT:
Calling card subscribers are allowed to charge telephone calls to calling card numbers before the calling card issuer's billing system is updated to include account records containing subscriber-specific information associated with those card numbers. Billing data associated with calls charged to those card numbers are stored until account records are created for those card numbers. Upon the creation of an account record for one of those card numbers, subscriber-specific information contained in the account record is combined with the stored billing data associated with that card number to form a conventional billing record for further processing.
