ABSTRACT:
A method for automatically converting a promotional calling card to a permanent calling card by an operator services system (OSS) is disclosed. A promotional calling card call received in the OSS is validated by obtaining card product-type data and card information data from a calling card validation database. Upon depletion of a non-billed promotional balance, the caller using a promotional calling card is presented with the option of being connected to a customer services representative by the OSS for arranging billing for future use of the card. User convenience is enhanced since the promotional calling card number is also used as the permanent calling card number after billing arrangements are made via the customer service representative.
