ABSTRACT:
A method for the variable, service-specific rate signalling of value-added services by a called destination subscriber (B) who is offering IN (Intelligent Network)-based services in a telecommunications network (TK), during an actual connection to a calling A-subscriber who is requesting an offered IN-service, is characterized in that via his service provider installation (10), the destination subscriber sends a rate signal, which corresponds to the actual rate requested by the destination subscriber, to a central control logic in the TK network, that the service control point (SCP) by means of a service logic checks the entitlement of the destination subscriber to impose the rate he has requested, and that if it is compatible, the service control point routes a corresponding fee charging information via a service switching point to the requesting A-subscriber, and to a customer data acquisition (KDE) connected to the TK network, whereby the customer data acquisition calculates the fees to be paid by the calling A-subscriber. This method makes it possible for the called destination subscriber to expand value-added services, which are IN-based anyway, to variable rate charging without great additional effort; however the entitlement to the rate charging is always checked at a neutral place of the TK network.
