Functioning of prepaid card system: Client
The first thing one has to do to be able to use the system is to buy a
prepaid card directly from the partner (dealer) or receive a promotion
prepaid card.
The card can be activated by the customer in one of the following ways:
- Through WAP site: the client erases the protecting coat of the card
which conceals an access code consisting of 14 numbers and enters the
following link http://www.site.com/access code on his mobile phone.
As soon as he enters the address the customer chooses his phone
model and enters the content catalogue which is divided into categories.
The customer can buy content to the amount of the prepaid card value.
He can also top-up his account using another prepaid card. To make
everything as much agreeable as possible for the customer, the
catalogue has a cart where the bought content is piled up (just as it is in
on-line shops), afterwards the content will be downloaded from that cart
to the mobile phone.
- Through SMS message: the code concealed under the protecting coat
is sent to one of the mobile numbers printed on the access card. The
system sends a reply to the customer containing a link which looks the
following way: http://www.site.com/access code
This way of content purchase is widely known and customary for the
client.
