Abstract

Method and apparatus for providing a mobile terminal with an indication of the service subscription being used by the mobile terminal. When received at a mobile terminal, the indications are displayed upon a display element. The display of the indication of the selected service subscription minimizes uncertainty to a user of the mobile terminal as to which service subscription calls originated at, or terminated at, the mobile terminal are being charged.
