Abstract
A terminal adapted to communicate via a communications system includes a transmitter and a receiver for transmitting and receiving a plurality of different communications signals, respectively. The terminal includes a controller which is capable of counting service increments, such as time and/or data increments, and controlling the operation of an associated user interface to produce a user perceptible output, such as an audible tone, when the count reaches the threshold. As such, the user interface can inform the user of the terminal when a threshold for data or time usage has been reached and/or surpassed.
