A system and method permit a customer obtaining communication services to
modify account parameters governing terms on which that service is
provided. Customer account parameters are stored in one or more databases
and accessed by one or more servers. The customer, upon accessing the
communication service, is provided with an opportunity to modify the
account parameters via automated interactive communication with the
server. The invention can applied to wireless communication services such
as wireless telephone service, wireless internet access, paging, or other
forms of interactive wireless communication; to telephone or other wired
interactive communication; to cable services; and to any other form of
interactive subscriber communications. The invention may be implemented
using existing equipment, and can be optimized for the type of
communication device at issue.
