This count is then handed over to charging nodes that will determine the charge/fee and, working with other nodes on the network, bill the subscriber’s SIM card credit account by either deducting an amount of money as for the bits of data exchanged or reducing the volume of data that was subscribed to, in this case the users with data bundles. There are also other charging methods but they are not so commonly used.
