A mobile policy hosting system (MPHS) includes a policy (PCRF) server, an SPR database, and a Billing-Conversion Server. The M PHS enables a mobile network to apply policies otherwise unsupported by the mobile network, thereby augmenting, expanding, or even fully replacing the existing policy services a mobile network. To interface with the M PHS, a new PCEF server is established in the mobile network. The PCRF server in the M PHS transmits a policy name to the new PCEF server in the mobile network so that it can enforce the policy with respect to a subscriber. The Billing-Conversion server converts all monetary information into universally quantifiable measurements (e.g., quantity of data, units of "time," etc.). This enables any mobile network to use the M PHS regardless of the local currency and regardless of the billing/charging interface.

Real-time fraudulent traffic security for telecommunication systems
Fraudulent VoIP calls are detected and blocked by automated procedures performed at a router server in the VoIP service provider's system which, usually, just analyzes call requests and sets up a route between the calling and called parties. The stringency of automated fraudulent call detection and blocking processes is based on calling customer credit worthiness and the destination of the call.
When a roaming telephone user in a visited network dials a long-distance number, he is transferred to a substitute telephone number which is local to that network and belongs to a service center which can route his call efficiently and cost effectively. Typically, the visited network contacts the user's home network for permission to complete the long-distance call. When that happens, the home network obtains the substitute number from a database on a telephone number server, based upon the location of the visited network, and responds to the visited network, instructing it to forward the user's call to the substitute telephone number. When the service center receives the roaming user's telephone call, it contacts the telephone number server and obtains the original long-distance number, which is stored in the database in association with the substitute telephone number. The service center is then able to route the roaming users call efficiently and cost-effectively by making use of its base of service providers.
