In some embodiments, the present disclosure provides a method includes: generating, by a session controlling Internet platform, a personalized Universal Resource Locator link (PURL), including: where the PURL is: communicatively coupled to the permission controlling schema and configured to be utilized to establish a peer-to-peer communication session between a sender computing device and a recipient computing device; where the PURL includes: a domain name associated with the session controlling Internet platform hosting a permission controlling schema, and at least one first identity linked to the recipient computing device; transmitting, by the session controlling Internet platform, the PURL to the recipient computing device; receiving, by the session controlling Internet platform, after the transmitting the PURL to the recipient computing device, a mobile originating communication, having data including: a multi-part multi-functional address signaling sequence, including: a MICRO band part, corresponding to a MICRO band parameter and a MACRO band part, corresponding to the MACRO band parameter, and at least one second identity; executing, by the session controlling Internet platform, based on the domain name and the MACRO band parameter, an activity between a first digital wallet associated with the at least one first identity and a second digital wallet associated with the at least one second identity after: the MICRO band part of the multi-part multi-functional address signaling sequence has been accepted by the cellular communications network and at least one portion of the data is confirmed to match an expected session record.

This application sets forth techniques for managing phone number-based user accounts. According to some embodiments, a server computing device can be configured to carry out the steps of (1) receiving, from a first client computing device, a request to create a user account based on a phone number, (2) in response to authenticating that the first client computing device is associated with the phone number: creating the user account based on the phone number, creating a hidden contact address based on the phone number, and assigning the hidden contact address to the user account, and (3) in response to receiving a notification that a second client computing device is associated with the phone number: requiring the user account to be updated to be based on a different phone number, or assigning, to the user account, a visible contact address based on the phone number.

A network device stores overload handling criteria for a real-time credit management system of a wireless core network. The network device monitors for overload conditions based on the overload handling criteria and determines, based on the monitoring, that a potential overload condition exists. The network device receives a first credit control request for a user device, determines a standard resource quota that is responsive to the first credit control request, and allocates an increased resource quota, over the standard resource quota, for the first credit control request. The increased resource quota is based on the potential overload condition and the overload handling criteria. The increased resource quota may prevent the system from reaching a complete overload condition, may reduce overall message traffic, and may provide time for manual or autonomous recovery from the circumstance that caused the potential overload condition.

A toll-free tagging service is provided that includes a subscription-based service that is made available to responsible organizations, consumers and businesses. The toll-free tagging service may provide the ability to tag a toll-free number (or group of numbers), and once a number is tagged, to track updates to that number that may then be distributed to customers through emails/text messages or other means. Subscribers of the toll-free tagging service may also have the ability to create, view, update and delete tags through a web application, mobile application, or some other user interface.

In order for charging SDT and MTC device trigger over control plane, there is provided a network node (40) that relays messages over a control plane (T5 and Tsp) between an MTC device (10) and an SCS (50). The network node (40) counts the number of messages successfully relayed, and generates a CDR in accordance with the counted number. The messages are SDT messages delivered from the MTC device (10) to the SCS (50), SDT messages delivered from the SCS (50) to the MTC device (10), or MTC device trigger messages delivered from the SCS (50) to the MTC device (10). The network node (40) transfers the CDR to an OCF (31) or a CDF (32).

The disclosed technology includes systems and methods for controlling enrollment and secure persistent SMS texting account servicing communications. A method is provided that includes receiving, at an enrollment web portal, enrollment data including: enrollment credentials identifying a user for authentication, a phone number of a mobile device associated with the user, and consent by the user to persistently interact with an account servicing system via SMS texting. The method includes: processing the received enrollment data, authenticating the user responsive to processing the received enrollment data, storing the phone number of the mobile device associated with the user in a phone number data storage, and generating, responsive to the authenticating, a revocable token for persistent access to a natural dialog module via a SMS texting gateway for the mobile device identified by the phone number.

Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, for receiving from a first system information comprising a message and an identifier of a user, selecting a channel from a plurality of different third party communication channels for sending the message based on one or more properties of communications on the channel, determining a channel-specific user identifier for the selected channel based on the identifier of the user, creating a channel-specific message formatted for the selected channel based on the message, and sending the message to the user on the selected channel using the channel-specific user identifier.

A system is provided that includes a request module adapted to receive a request from an initiation interface initiated by a user and a user profile module adapted to associate the request with a user profile of the user. The user profile includes at least a payment plan selected by the user and an identification number of the user. The system also includes a payment interface adapted to submit a payment demand to the payment plan and a mobile communication interface adapted to transmit a confirmation to a mobile communication network for transmission to a wireless device associated with the identification number. In the system, the initiation interface may be a wireless device, a magnetic swipe reader, a wireless barcode reading device, an RFID interface, a website, and/or a web banner interface. A method of operating a server is provided. A computer-readable storage medium containing a set of instructions for a processor is provided.

A method for accessing telecommunications services (124-126) from a terminal (110-112, 140-142) having credit-based communications capabilities. The method includes consuming credit when accessing telecommunications services, when available communications credit value becomes lower than a predefined threshold, providing to a user of said terminal a action selection user interface enabling the selection of a credit-generating action by the user, and after the action has been executed, recharging communications credit for the user. The present invention also provides a system for implementing the method.
