A method and a system provide a service for a user device with a service
provider. The method includes establishing a service provisioning
relationship between the user device and a bridging user device through a
first wireless network (e.g., a Bluetooth network); providing a desired
service for the user device with the service provider via the bridging
user device and the first wireless network, and through a second wireless
network (e.g., a cellular network) that couples the bridging user device
to the service provider; while providing the service, recording charging
data for the service provisioning relationship between the user device
and the bridging user device; and reporting the charging data from the
bridging user device to the service provider. In the preferred embodiment
at least the establishing and recording functions use service provider
trusted software running on the user device and on the bridging user
device.
