A service agent can receive a request to establish a communication session between a communicative entity and another communicative entity. The service agent can access profile information for the communicative entity. Using the profile information the service agent can detect a transition from a first billing mode to a second billing mode, and it can prompt the communicative entity for an authorization to transfer from the first billing mode to the second billing mode. |

DETAILED DESCRIPTION A service agent can reside on a wireless communications network.
The service agent can receive a communication request to establish a session between a communicative entity and another communicative entity.
The request may be sent from the communicative entity through the service agent to the other communicative entity, or it may be sent from the other communicative entity through the service agent to the communicative entity.
When the service agent receives the request, the service agent may obtain profile information for the communicative entity, and it may obtain profile information for a communicative entity subscriber.
The profile information may define a communication unit, and it may define at least two billing modes.
The communicative entity's consumption of wireless communications network resources can be measured in communication units.
The service agent may detect a billing mode change from a first billing mode to a second billing mode when the mobile station's consumption of wireless telecommunication network resources exceeds a predetermined amount.
The service agent can then notify the communicative entity of the detected billing mode change.
The service agent may request an approval from the communicative entity to transfer from the first billing mode to the second billing mode.
If the service agent receives an approval from the communicative entity, the service agent may allow the session to be established, for example by forwarding the request to its intended destination.
However, if the service agent does not receive an approval from the communicative entity, the service agent may prevent the communication session from being established, or it may elect to invoke default conditions for limited usage.
For example, the service agent may prevent the request from being delivered to its intended destination.
The service agent may also detect a billing mode transfer during an established communication session, and it may temporarily suspend the communication
