摘要： Methods and apparatus for use in providing discounted call rates for wireless communications are described. In one particular implementation, the method includes the steps of receiving a call record having an originating telephone number, a terminating telephone number, and one or more system identification codes (SIDs); determining whether the one or more SIDs are included as part of a predetermined geographic area that is smaller than and included within boundaries of a home area of at least one of the telephone numbers; determining whether a predefined relationship exists between the originating telephone number and the terminating telephone number; and providing data that is indicative of a discounted wireless call rate if it is determined that the one or more SIDs are included as part of the predetermined geographic area and the predetermined relationship exists between the originating telephone number and the terminating telephone number.
