  • 1.  TMF654 for PostPay? - Shared Allowance Groups and Gifting

    All,

    We're looking at the best approach to support grouping and gifting of data allowances for postpay mobile customers.

    TMF654 logically describes the capability we need though positioned today solely for prepay.

    I've noticed a couple of threads suggesting 654 could be potentially extended to cover postpay scenarios although there don't seem to be any recent discussions in this area.

    Is anyone aware of any further thinking or work in this area?

    Thanks Alastair

    Hej Alistair,

    Yes, the intention with 654 is to make it customer agnostic. It should be the home of balances/allowances no matter if the customer pays on invoice or with a top up paid in advance. I did an attempt to update 654 to 4.1 stating that this should be customer agnostic by adding textual context, but for several reasons it looks like the only thing that has made it to the pre-production table is the swagger. I have also raised a JIra ticket to rename the API for v5 to remove the reference to Prepay and this has been approved. 

    Best regards, 

    Elisabeth
