Ericsson's charging solutions offer different tools to enable you to charge for your applications, services and content, thus getting access to revenues.

The realtime interfaces provided by the Diameter Charging SDK, the Parlay Charging API and the Payment API should be used whenever there is a need to address both prepaid and postpaid subscribers. If the target subscribers are postpaid only, then non-realtime Detail Records can be used. Detail Records should, however, be used in parallel to realtime interfaces in order to gather more detailed information about the service usage - in many cases required for corporate subscribers (for taxation reasons) and for statistics reporting.
