Abstract
Methods, systems, and computer-readable media are provided for determining cumulative data usage information associated with a mobile device. In particular, a request to initiate a communication session is received from a mobile device. Accordingly, allocated data usage information associated with the mobile device is retrieved from a subscription profile server. Based on the allocated data usage information, a gateway facilitating a communication session with the mobile device is provided with a threshold amount of data usage information. After the communication session has ended, data usage information from the communication session is used to calculate updated data usage information associated with the mobile device. The updated data usage information is then stored at the subscription information server.
