1. A mediating communication method for integrating mobile services system with pre-paid applications, said integration comprised of:
- a mobile service telephone switching point (SSP), service control point (SCP) and signaling transfer point (STP), said method comprising the steps of;
a. Receiving a stream of messages from the users mobile telephone based on a MAP protocol;
b. identifying MAP protocol messages operation States and IDs according to pre-defined logic rules;
c. determining requested service operation according to pre-defined tables based on identified state and id;
d. determining IN protocol messages type based on determined service operation;
e. determining IN protocol message parameter type and value according original message state. f. Creating stream of IN protocol messages according to determined service requests;
g. Sending created messages to SCP system;
h. Receiving IN protocol response message from the SCP system;
i. Activating the respective service based on determined requested service and response message data result.

Abstract
The present invention provides a mediating communication system enabling to integrate mobile service providers such as SMS messaging with prepaid voice systems. It is suggested to use a mediating gateway, which simulates the communication between a signaling transfer point (STP) with a service control point (SCP) by converting MAP protocol messages of service switching point (SSP) into IN protocol messages which can be handled by the SCP.
