Systems and methods for redirecting calls are provided herein. In some embodiments, a method for redirecting calls may include receiving a first call request from a first user device via a first telephony service provider network to establish an off-net call with a second user device registered on a second telephony service provider network, determining that the first user device is associated with an account of the second telephony service provider network based on a communication identifier of the first user device included in the first call request, and sending a notification message to the first user device indicating that the off-net call may be established as an on-net call over the second telephony service provider network.

There is provided a configuration function for charging an application service provider coupled to a wireless communications network, the wireless communications network arranged to enable communication for one or more application services of the application service provider, the configuration function comprising: a receiver arranged to receive a subscription for charging notifications in respect of one or more application services of the application service provider; a processor arranged to derive charging analytics for the one or more application services from recorded data, the charging analytics including a prediction of the charging of the application service provider for use of the wireless communications network in a service area, by the one or more application services of the application service provider; and the processor further arranged to determine an automated charging trigger configuration for charging the application service provider for use of the wireless communications network based on the derived charging analytics.

A modified end user network access point includes a switching module and a controller to track usage of the end user network access point by wirelessly connected end user devices. The tracked usage information is transmitted from the end user network access point to a remotely coupled data center. The data center collects usage information from a plurality of different end user network access points. The collected usage information is in turn transmitted from the data center to a network carrier. The network carrier uses the received usage information to bill users for accessing the end user network access points and using any services provided by the end user network access points. An owner of each end user network access point is compensated by the network carrier each instance that an end user device utilizes the end user network access point to access the network carrier's communications network.

A system and method for monitoring account usage on a platform that includes creating an account on a platform; assigning a usage model of the account; running an application of the account on the platform; monitoring usage of the application of the account; identifying a usage event of the usage model in the monitored usage; and generating an event response based on the usage event.

A communication control device, includes a terminal information acquisition unit which acquires terminal-related information including communication service information relating to a communication service executed, and network information relating to a network, a selection unit which selects, among a plurality of combinations of networks each of which can be used by each of a plurality of communication services, a combination of networks having a smallest total communication cost to be charged for each of the plurality of communication services in each of the plurality combinations of networks, on the basis of the terminal-related information, and network-related information including communication cost information, and communication bandwidth information, and a network control unit which executes a network control such that the networks used respectively by each of the plurality of communication services are the selected combination of networks.

Toll-free application data network access is disclosed. A device for providing data connectivity includes a connection detector configured to receive a data connectivity request from an application installed on the device, a configuration manager for retrieving a configuration file for the application identified from the data connectivity request, the configuration file defining conditions to allow connectivity for the application under operator specific billing, and an authorization module configured to access the configuration file, tag the data connectivity request with a first tag if the data connectivity request matches the conditions of the configuration file, the tag being indicative of operator specific billing for the application, and leave the data connectivity request unchanged otherwise.
