Abstract
A device may receive campaign information, that includes information identifying a targeted geographic region, for generating a toll-free data service campaign. The targeted geographic region may not coincide with a coverage area of a base station. The device may generate a campaign rule identifying one or more campaign conditions for updating an account of a campaign owner, associated with the toll-free data service campaign, for data used in association with the toll-free data service campaign. The device may receive a request, from a user device, to access a service, and may determine that one or more campaign conditions are satisfied, such as a condition to determine that the user device is located within the targeted geographic region. The device may provide an instruction to update the account, of the campaign owner, for data usage of the user device based on determining that the one or more campaign conditions are satisfied.
