Abstract
Usage information is determined that describes usage of different services by a user device. A combined usage of the different services utilized by the user device is determined and compared to monitoring criteria. When the monitoring criteria are satisfied, an electronic message is sent to an address associated with the user device.
Claims20
A method, comprising:
- determining, by a system comprising a processor, usage information associated with services utilized by a user device, wherein the services are provided by a plurality of communications systems;
- determining, by the system, a combined usage of the services utilized by the user device;
- determining, by the system, that the combined usage satisfies a monitoring criterion;
- and
- providing, by the system, an electronic message to the user device in response to the combined usage satisfying the monitoring criterion.
