Abstract (en)
[origin: WO9957879A1] A method of determining a call price or an element thereof, such as a tariff, in a telecommunication system comprising at least one centre (MSC1, MSC2) and supporting the moving of at least one subscriber terminal (MS1, MS2) and maintaining current location information on mobile subscriber terminals. A call comprises at least a first, i.e. the calling, subscriber terminal (MS1) and a second, i.e. the called, subscriber terminal (MS2). In accordance with the invention, a data structure (301, 302) is formed whereto location information on the subscriber terminals (MS1, MS2) belonging to the call is supplied as input, and which, on the basis of the location information, indicates a distance parameter depending on the distance between the subscriber terminals. The distance can be measured along a straight line or via cables (201 to 205). Location information of a corresponding gateway mobile switching centre (GMSC) can be used for a subscriber located in another operator's network. This distance parameter is used for determining the call price.
