ABSTRACT:
The present invention discloses a method for providing a Virtual Private Network (VPN) service. The method comprises the steps of: after receiving a call request from a user terminal, a Service Control Point (SCP) judging whether the user terminal has applied for a prepaid service at the same time, if so, initiating a VPN service logic, invoking a prepaid service logic by the VPN service logic, and deducting fee from a prepaid account corresponding to the user terminal while providing the VPN service to the user terminal. With the present invention, a VPN service can be provided for a prepaid service user, which not only brings convenience for prepaid service users, but also prompts expansion of VPN service, thus bringing great interests for the operators.
