Abstract:
1. A method for providing real-time feedback of call information, comprising: receiving an indication of initiation of a call at a first communication device; routing information associated with the initiated call to a look-up rating system having access to databases for obtaining look-up rating information; requesting the look-up rating information relating to the initiated call, the look-up rating information including one or more of a type of network, an amount of minutes available, carriers involved with the call, and a service plan for the first communication device; passing the look-up rating information to the first communication device; determining whether a cost of the initiated call previously was calculated and cached; if the cost of the initiated call previously was not calculated and cached, determining, by the first communication device, the cost of the initiated call based on the look-up rating information and caching the cost of the initiated call; if the cost of the initiated call previously was calculated and cached, determining, by the first communication device, whether the look-up rating information has changed since the cost previously was calculated and cached, and, if so, updating the cost of the initiated call based on the look-up rating information and caching the cost of the initiated call; and presenting the cached cost and associated call information at the first communication device.
