  The system to recharge the account of mobile phones by means of a credit card developed for Swisscom
 
  The system enables the user of a mobile phone with a SIM card of a prepaid type to recharge their mobile phone account by means of a credit card. The system comprises a user registration module in authorised services, a module which communicates with the operator's telecommunication equipment of (receiving calls, receiving SMSs, sending SMSs and USSDs, authorising calling numbers, updating the account), and a module of communication with the centres of credit card authorisation. The system has been written in the C language. We have used some mechanisms of communication between the modules. The system uses databases of Oracle operating on the SUN Solaris servers. Constant, perfect operation of this system is a critical requirement. The start of the system was preceded by a phase of complete tests (all possible failure scenarios). The above mentioned modules are the elements of a big system called SICAP. This has been used in many European counties. Simplus of Plus GSM has implemented on this system.
