Abstract
Method for billing use of a service in a telecommunication network comprising a communication device (MOB) communicating through a network with a machine (SERV), said communication device (MOB) being coupled to a smart card (CAR), said smart card including services able to initiate an action or to receive an action from said communication device (MOB), said action including at least one parameter identifying a service, characterized in that it comprises the following steps:- an interception step, in which a command initiating an action is intercepted;- an extraction step, in which relevant data (A1,A2) identifying a service is extracted from said command.

Smart card (CAR) able to communicate with a communication device (MOB), said smart card including services able to initiate an action or to receive an action from said communication device, said action including at least one parameter (A1,A2) identifying a service, characterized in that said smart card includes a microcontroller programmed for performing the following steps:
- An interception step, in which a command initiating an action is intercepted;
- An extraction step, in which relevant data (A1,A2) identifying a service is extracted from said command.
