Abstract
Examples disclosed herein provide systems, methods, and software for responding to data balance queries for a wireless device. In one example, a method of operating a communication system includes initiating a data balance query for a wireless device and transferring the query to a packet data network gateway. In response to the query, the packet data network gateway and an online charging server are configured to transfer data usage information to a prepaid management system. In turn, the prepaid management module is configured to update the account for the wireless device based on the data usage information, and provide a data balance response to the wireless device.
