Abstract
Systems and methods for processing rebates for a telecommunication subscriber are disclosed herein. Call detail records, related to telecommunication service activity by the telecommunication subscriber, are obtained for a previous billing period. Based on the call detail records, the service cost under a current rate plan is calculated and hypothetical service costs are calculated had the telecommunication subscriber been subscribed under other available rate plans. Then, a rebate is provided to the subscriber based on at least one rate plan that is less expensive than the current rate plan.
