Abstract
A method and apparatus for performing a charging limit control in a telecommunication switching network is disclosed, wherein a charging limit tile is provided comprising a plurality of subscriber-specific charging limit records. The charging limit control is performed by using a record index in order to access the subscriber-specific charging limit. Thus, the charging limit control is adaptable to different charging limit values of different call types, which can be provided in the corresponding subscriber-specific charging limit record. Moreover, the subscriber-specific charging limit record may comprise subrecords used for providing different charging limit values for different call types or services, wherein own charging limits can be allocated to different call types.
