    ​Hi Partha
    There is no single API that would achieve this change. I would expect an ordering process to be run, which would include steps such as:
    • Check the credit rating and risk of the customer (since with prepaid there was presumably no risk, now the CSP may want to do a risk assessment)
    • Create a post-paid party account for the customer
    • Select the post-paid product offering that has the terms that the customer wishes (with relevant recurring charges, allowances, whatever)
    • Make any relevant changes to the ordered product configuration that might arise from the change of terms
    • Provision the changes to the billing system and perhaps to the network
    I invite you to review the various Open APIs in the areas of Party, Account, and Product Order management and hopefully you can string together a process that utilizes methods from the APIs.
