ABSTRACT:
Allowing a separate system owned by a service provider to access telephone terminals of consumers to determine the calling patterns of each consumer, utilize service plan information of different network carriers, automatically change the network carriers used by an individual consumer to more closely match the calling patterns of the consumer and the plan incentives, and to store information in the telephone terminal so that calling information is provided to the individual consumer in accordance with the service plan of the selected network carrier. The information stored in the telephone terminal of the consumer causes that telephone terminal to alert the consumer to special times during which the consumer should make telephone calls. In addition, the telephone terminal will warn the consumer upon the consumer attempting to place a call if there is a more advantageous time to place the call within some predefined time period.
