    摘要: A communications management network for managing subscribers' communication sessions. The management network includes multiple sets of session management modules or servers (e.g., Intelligent Service Control Points), a services hub and a data warehouse. The network may also include a gateway for routing text messages. Each set of session management modules includes a plurality of modules, and each subscriber is assigned to one set of modules with one of the modules as a primary and another as a secondary or backup. Subscribers are grouped according to geographical area (e.g., by zip code, by area code), service area or other criteria, and all subscribers within a group are assigned to the same primary and secondary modules. Management of subscribers' communication sessions is load balanced by reassigning groups of subscribers to different sets of session management modules. Each module tracks account statuses (e.g., prepaid services balances) for its assigned subscribers.

    摘要: Subscribers of a wireless communication service may select from a number of bundled service plans, wherein a recurring charge is paid from prepaid accounts by the subscribers in exchange for a bundled package of services. If a subscriber does not have sufficient value in the subscriber's account to pay the recurring charge for the selected bundled service plan, the subscriber's account is automatically stepped down to a different plan that includes fewer or no bundled services and that may charge more per use of the services. If the subscriber subsequently adds sufficient funds to the account to pay for the originally selected service plan, the subscriber may be re-enrolled in that originally selected bundled service plan.
