Abstract

Methods, servers and systems for managing subscriber accounts within a telecommunications network. A server may be configured to identify a network access scheme (e.g., subscription plan, service pass, etc.) associated with a subscriber account, and use contextual information received from components in the telecommunication network to intelligently determine whether to notify the user of the availability of different network access schemes based on various factors, such as based on determining whether any available service pass is more cost effective than the currently installed service pass, whether any available service pass will provide a user equipment device with an increased quality of service relative to the currently installed service pass, whether any available subscription plan will provide the user equipment device with an increased quality of service relative to the current subscription plan, or whether any available subscription plan is more cost effective than the current subscription plan.
