Abstract
The invention concerns a method for the implementation of charging in a telecommunications system including customer terminals used by customers for ordering services and servers for providing services to customers. In order to implement the charging of services easily especially in a multimedia environment, at least one separate billing server is used in the network so that each customer terminal has a dedicated billing server. A contract message is sent to the customer terminal stating that the customer must make a contract on the selected service, and the customer's acceptance of the contract is sent from the customer terminal to the billing server in the network. The billing servers of the network are used for transferring charging records to the billing system so that the transfer of the charging record(s) concerning the selected service involves at least one billing server.
