ABSTRACT:
In mobile telephone communication equipment that is not owned by the user, but merely rented ad-hoc, a method for paying for the use of the equipment and any attendant call charges or other fees is described herein. The apparatus consists of a proximity device previously loaded with the user's credit card locator designation (i.e. an alpha-numeric string which identifies the particular user and his credit card account). The wireless transmission unit module, the receiver unit and the mobile unit being accessed thereby. When the user is within the vehicle, which constitutes a reasonable proximity between the hand held transmitter and the receiving unit, the transceiver transmits its user personality data to the receiving unit thereby identifying the user and allowing access to the equipment for purposes such as placing a telephone call.
