Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer-readable media are described for generating customized service plans for a wireless telecommunications network. An operator of a wireless telecommunications network may allow users to access the network in accordance with a service plan, which may specify terms and conditions associated with usage of the network (e.g., types of usage, amounts of usage, geographic areas, associated mobile devices and users, subscription fees, etc.). Customized, user-specific service plans for the wireless network may be generated and implemented by determining that a user satisfies one or more criteria for applying service plan modifications. A user may be required to agree to specified conditions, such as upgrading a mobile device or subscribing for a specified time period, in order to accept a customized service plan. Multiple modifications may be applied to a base service plan, and plans and/or modifications for which the user is eligible may be identified.

Abstract: A system and method for transforming a voicemail message into a chat session between a first party and a second party. The method comprises receiving, at a remote server, a voice message from the first party which is destined for the second party. The server transcribes the voice message, which involves transforming the voice message into a text. The server then initiates the chat session between the first party and the second party, by sending the text and audio as a multi-media instant message (IM) to the first party and to the second party. The IM appears as an outgoing message on a first computing device associated with the first party, and as an incoming message on a second computing device associated with the second party.
