Definitions
- THIS INVENTION relates to telecommunication availability, more particularly, to a telecommunication system and a method of using same to improve telecommunication availability and access.
- prepaid systems have accompanied the increased use of cellular telephones ("cellphones").
- a user or subscriber purchases airtime to a selected value from a service provider in advance. The purchase of the airtime allows the subscriber to use a cellphone to communicate via the cellular network of the Mobile Network Operator (MNO) to a predetermined extent.
- MNO Mobile Network Operator
- the user or subscriber To initiate use of the cellular network, the user or subscriber typically purchases a voucher of value.
- the voucher provides an enabling or PIN code that is fed into the network via the cellphone thereby to enable use for the selected value.
- the cumulative use of the network by the user reaches the value of the purchased airtime and the voucher has been depleted, use of the network by the user is terminated and a further voucher must then be purchased before network usage can proceed.
- a solution to the above problem is nowadays available where a person who wishes to make conversation with a call receiver, sends a so called "please call me" text to the intended call receiver.
- this text message takes long to reach the intended call receiver as the message alert notification may perhaps not be heard or attended to in good time thereby leaving the call initiator in a troublesome situation where he urgent needs to convey information to the call receiver, but doesn't have the airtime available to allow him/her to convey said information.
- Inadvertent airtime depletion is believed to not only be a problem associated with prepaid MNO subscribers but also MNO subscribers who are signed up in a contract with the MNO, but without proper top-up airtime arrangements in place.
- This specification aims to address, at least in part, the abovementioned shortcomings by providing an improved telecommunication system and method of enabling use of a communication network by a call initiator and a call receiver.
- WASP Wireless Application A company that provides services and Service Provider content via the MNO for other companies or individuals e.g. MWEB

- SIM Subscriber Information Card inserted into the mobile phone for users
- a telecommunication system comprising means to establish via a WASP and during a live telephonic conversation between a telephone call initiator and a telephone call receiver, a real-time agreement that prevents premature ending of the telephonic conversation due to a lack of call funding by the telephone call initiator and aids continued telephonic communication between the telephone call initiator and the telephone call receiver.
- the telephone call receiver to, whilst the call is live, take over, acquire and fund talk-time of the telephone call initiator, which debt cannot be funded from a primary telecommunication service airtime account of the call initiator.
- the invention provides for the telephone call initiator to, whilst the call is live, acquire access to and use a talk-time related savings account upon actuation of a prompt from said call initiator.
- the telecommunication system comprises means for initiating and completing a commercial transaction between a call receiver and a call initiator via a telecommunication network to allow said call receiver to acquire and own a talk-time related debt upon receipt of a prompt from said call initiator, during the telephonic conversation with the call initiator and via the telecommunication network, to take over, acquire and own the talk-time related debt of the call initiator,
- the system comprising: an identification module for identifying call receiver and call initiator information; an airtime monitoring module configured to monitor remaining airtime of the call initiator, during the call; in communication with the airtime monitoring module, a supplementary communication module apt to receive a trigger from the airtime monitoring module when a low-level airtime preset limit of the call initiator is reached so that the supplementary communication module can notify both the call initiator and the call receiver, via the telecommunication network and before the airtime is depleted, in a mutual-agreement-prompt about an option to transfer, from the call initiator to the call receiver,
- the respective modules to be built into software comprising a set of instructions fixed or stored in any manner and which, when used directly or indirectly in a computer, directs its operation to bring about the results, as set out above in respect of the respective modules.
- the input from the call receiver about acceptance of call-time related debt to be selected from any one or more of the following: a voice instruction in response to a voice prompt, a handset screen touch action in response to a voice prompt, or a handset button depression in response to a voice prompt.
- a voice instruction in response to a voice prompt a handset screen touch action in response to a voice prompt
- a handset button depression in response to a voice prompt a handset button depression in response to a voice prompt.
- the respective modules to be controlled via a WASP.
- the WASP may initiate the supplementary communication module to request input from the call receiver via USSD transmitted over a GSM, GPRS, SMS, WAP, HTTP, Diginet, ISDN or a X25 line.
- the invention also extends to a method of enabling use of a communication network by a call initiator and a call receiver, the method comprising: remotely identifying the call initiator and the call receiver; verifying call initiator and call receiver details with reference to subscriber details stored in a subscriber data base; and selectively providing the call receiver with a mutual-agreement-prompt thereby to permit said call receiver to either accept by active input; or decline transfer of call-time related debt of the call initiator as accumulated for the duration of the call with the call initiator; and which, active input when fed into the network, provides the call initiator with airtime which allows continued communication with the call receiver via the network to an extent as allowed by airtime available of the call receiver.
