Abstract

A method and system for use in a communications system including a plurality of users (510, 520, 530) and different sets of pre- allocated resources (512, 522, 532), a first user being assigned to use resources from a first one of said sets of pre-allocated resources, the method comprising: determining when said first user requires resources for a communications service exceeding the pre-allocated resources assigned to said first user; in response to determining that said first user requires resources exceeding the pre-allocated resources assigned to said first user, providing reallocated resources to said first user from a second set of pre- allocated resources (514, 524, 534); crediting a second user for at least a portion of said reallocated resources; and charging said first user for at least a portion of said reallocated resource.
