Methods and systems are disclosed for providing a usage pattern for a
customer of an intelligently-switched telecommunications system. The
usage pattern provides historical information concerning the customer's
use of the telecommunications system. One embodiment includes
communicating either with the telecommunications system or with a data
network and receiving a query for the customer's usage pattern. The query
could originate from the customer using a computer device operating on
the data network or from the customer using a telephonic/wireless device
operating on the telecommunications system. The usage pattern is acquired
from either a service control point operating on the telecommunications
system or a database operating on the data network. The usage pattern is
then communicated to the customer along either the data network or the
telecommunications system, whereby the customer uses the computer device,
or the telephonic/wireless device, to access the usage pattern.
