ABSTRACT:
The invention relates to a method for operating a billing system for billing for services provided by a service provider and/or for transmissions of service data via a terminal used by a subscriber using a communication network, where the service provider is arranged outside the communication network, and the billing system accesses subscriber profile data stored in a home location register in the communication network. Access to the subscriber profile data is followed by use thereof to ascertain the TCP/IP address of an account server which manages an electronic credit belonging to the subscriber. The invention also shows a billing system for carrying out the method.
