Nokia releases Prepaid Tracker

Nokia is introducing the Nokia Prepaid Tracker, a solution that lets prepaid subscribers keep track of their prepaid balance and call expenses.

After each call or transaction, details about subscribers' account balance is automatically sent and displayed on their Nokia phone menu.

Nokia Prepaid Tracker is an end-to-end network-based solution (read: your mobile operator has to support it and use Nokia software) to provide this functionality. Support for the solution is built into the new Nokia 1110 and Nokia 1600 (pictured) models.

Nokia Prepaid Tracker network software is implemented in an Intelligent Network platform, such as the Nokia mCreate Solution, to allow the supported phones, the Nokia 1110 and Nokia 1600, to display account information on the phone's main display. In addition to their current account balance, subscribers can also view information on the account's expiration date, the cost of the last call or SMS, and the amount of the last prepaid recharge.

Nokia mCreate Solution is a service creation tool that allows an operator to develop and deploy IN services tailored to different subscriber segments. Nokia Prepaid Tracker can also be implemented on other IN platforms.
