Calling collect has been one of the key services in the wireline networks. It has allowed operators to generate additional revenues and has enabled subscribers to connect to friends and family from public locations, especially in an emergency. Canvas^® PayForMe™, Mobile Collect Call Application, brings the same functionality to wireless operators.

Canvas PayForMe is a scalable and network based value added service solution that enables wireless carriers to target end-user segments including the youth, low budget and prepaid subscribers and enterprises. It allows mobile subscribers to make collect calls without the involvement of an operator through flexible and east-to-use interfaces. The system provides multiple notification options for calling and called parties and supports subscriber list management options.

With Canvas PayForMe, operators can increase their ARPU by allowing their subscribers to make a collect call when they:

• Are out of credit or have little credit reserved for emergency

• Cannot recharge their credit because they do not have access to a recharge mechanism

• Want to reverse the call charges for personal or business reasons
