  • Publication number: 20040162732
    Abstract: The system and method for credit card replenishment of a wireless subscriber's account balance detailed herewith enables wireless subscribers to recharge their account balances in self-configured and/or telecommunications carrier-configured amounts via Unstructured Supplementary Services Data (USSD) by charging the subscriber's credit card or similar type of disbursement instrument. Once a subscriber has stored such credit information and/or other banking details on the SCP by registering relevant details with the telecommunications carrier, the system and method disclosed herein prompts the subscriber for an amount and their PIN security code. The system and method then charges a subscriber's credit card, and adds the desired recharge amount to the subscriber's prepaid account balance. If no credit card or PIN information is stored for the subscriber, or if the Credit Card Information System (CCIS) rejects the charge, an appropriate error message is returned.
