Abstract

The invention relates to online charging in roaming cases. A credit control request for a visiting subscriber is sent to a gateway charging control unit in a visited network. A corresponding credit control request is sent from the gateway charging control unit to a network entry node of a home network of the subscriber and forwarded to a charging control unit of the subscriber's home network. Credit control is executed for the roaming subscriber by the charging control unit of the subscriber's home network, and a corresponding response is sent back in reply to the credit control requests.
