Mobile billboard and usage advisor

A method for providing dynamic recommendations associated with usage of a wireless communication service from a service provider (SP) of a user, said method comprising:

• retrieving at least one or more of the following service usage information on a wireless device of the user:
• a service plan of the wireless communication service of the user, a service charge structure of a wireless communication service, a service coverage area of the wireless communication service provider (SP), a usage information of the wireless communication service of the user, and tariff information associated with the usage;
• monitoring the usage of the wireless communication service on the wireless device, said monitoring further comprising providing a notification during the monitored usage in response to the monitored usage;
• determining whether the monitored usage is outside the service coverage area, said notification being indicative of the monitored usage being outside the service coverage area of the wireless communication SP of the user and the cost of the usage of the wireless communication service exceeding a threshold established by the user;
• providing the notification to the user via an interface of the wireless device;
• correlating the monitored usage with one or more tariffs available outside the service coverage area and comparing said one or more tariffs with the service usage information;
• terminating a connection between the wireless communication service and the wireless device of the user as a function of the monitored usage, the one or more available tariffs, and the service plan information;
• and
• transmitting a recommendation to the interface of the wireless device based on the correlation of the monitored usage, the one or more available tariffs, and the service usage information, said transmitted recommendation providing a cost analysis of using the wireless communication service by the user.

A method for providing dynamic recommendations associated with usage of a wireless communication service from a wireless device of a user, said method comprising:

• storing at least one or more of the following service usage information on a wireless device of the user:
• a service plan of the wireless communication service of the user, a service charge structure of a wireless communication service, a service coverage area of the wireless communication service provider (SP), a usage information of the wireless communication service of the user, and tariff information associated with the usage;
• monitoring the usage of the wireless communication service on the wireless device, said monitoring comprising providing an alert during said monitored usage indicating to the user that the user is roaming outside the service coverage area and indicating a cost estimate associated with using the wireless service while the user is roaming outside the service coverage area based on one or more tariffs available in the roaming area, said alert indicating that the cost of the monitored usage of the wireless communication service exceeds a threshold established by the user;
• correlating the monitored usage with the service usage information stored on the wireless device;
• terminating a connection between the wireless communication service and the wireless device of the user as a function of the monitored usage and the service plan information;
• generating a recommendation based on the correlation of the monitored usage, the one or more tariffs available in the roaming area, and the service usage information, said generated recommendation providing a cost analysis of using the wireless communication service by the user;
• and
• providing the generated recommendation associated with the usage to the user.
