Abstract (en)
The method involves automatically sending a payment request for paying for a requested franking service, by a handheld communication device (12) to a server system (14). The system receives the request and verifies use entitlements of a user. The system generates encoded information if the entitlements are valid, in response to the request. The device obtains the information. The information is transmitted by the device to a mail-handling machine. The machine verifies the transmitted information. The machine is activated to implement the requested service if the information is valid.
