Abstract: The subject innovation relates to a method for providing data-based services via a terminal The method includes identifying a mobile terminal device of a user, identifying the terminal, linking the terminal to the mobile terminal device so that data-based services can be downloaded via the terminal and the costs associated with these data-based services can be charged to the mobile terminal device. The subject innovation also relates to a correspondingly adapted terminal and system. Data-based services may be requested via a terminal, and the costs may be charged to the mobile terminal device, without the mobile terminal device being involved in the provision of the data-based service.
