ABSTRACT:
A method of processing information charge discount rates for service subscribers in a premium-rate service. Information charge discount rate data for each service subscriber is registered and a service subscriber number and a calling number are received from Service Switching Point. The received service subscriber number is designated as an index value of a main table in a service subscriber database and the main table is then retrieved to check whether data corresponding to the designated index value are present in the main table. If the data corresponding to the designated index value are present, a service feature classification data field in the main table is retrieved to check whether the service subscriber has subscribed to a flexible charging-by-day/time service. If the service subscriber has subscribed, data are read from a day/time classification data field in the main table, and a specific data information charge discount rate, a specific day information charge discount rate, a specific time information charge discount rate and a holiday information charge discount rate are calculated according to the read data. The calculated information charge discount rates are transmitted together with an information charge class and a called number to a service switching point.
