  • Publication number: 20250097352
    Abstract: This application provides a method for calibrating satellite short message communication charging. In the method, an electronic device sends a target satellite short message to a satellite, performs a pre-fee-deduction operation for a satellite short message service, and updates a first parameter to a first value, where the first parameter is a remaining quota that is of the satellite short message service and that is stored in the electronic device. When the electronic device is connected to a communication network, the electronic device sends the first value to a server. The electronic device receives a first calibration result sent by the server, where the first calibration result indicates whether the first value is consistent with a second value, and the second value is a value of a remaining quota that is stored in the server. The electronic device calibrates the first parameter based on the first calibration result.
