A method for inter-terminal payment and corresponding devices and computer programs loadable into said devices is disclosed. The method comprises a transfer of financial value from a payment device of a payer (PDPr) to a payment device of a payee (PDPe) with the assistance and the supervision of a trusted third party (TTP). Payment relevant data of the payee is transmitted to the payment device of the payer (PDPr) which triggers the transaction of financial value at the trusted third party (TTP) by a message. The trusted third party (TTP) releases a payment confirmation for the payer and the payee providing a status information on the financial transaction for the payer and the payee, respectively, and sends this information in a confirmation transmission procedure to the payment device of the payer (PDPr) and the payment device of the payee (PDPe), respectively.

Access to information related to a client terminal is provided to a first web server, the information being stored by a second web server. The first web server is connected to the client terminal via a proxy server. The second web server sends a message, including a cookie, to the proxy server, wherein the cookie comprises a network address of the second web server. The cookie, related to the client terminal, is stored in the proxy server. The proxy server receives a message from the client terminal addressed to the first web server and the proxy server inserts the stored cookie into the received message. The proxy server forwards the received message to the first web server, which uses the cookie to request information from the second web server.

Method for providing information to a web server

To achieve an improved overview on service charges for a subscriber to a digital cellular communication network it is proposed to provide a mobile station with a charging indicating unit ( ) adapted to receive charging information as unstructured supplementary service data messages (USSD) via the unstructured supplementary service data dialog. Therefore, it is possible to provide charging information without any impact on the hardware of the mobile station (MS). Further, as more detailed information on the kind of service and on the amount of data transferred is available a detailed estimate on the actual cost may be displayed to the user of the mobile station.
