Abstract:
A party (12, 14, 16 and 18) to a telephone call carried by a telecommunications network (10) may effect transfer of the call charges that would otherwise be billed to that party by entering a billing transfer request after the call has been set up. Upon receipt of the billing transfer request, the network verifies whether the subscriber is authorized. If so, then a billing record created upon call set up is transferred to an alternative number designated by the subscriber.
