We do the same thing here. The customer has a say a starting balance of $100.00 and they are allowed to use it up. If it goes into the negative, then they are still allowed to place calls. When it comes time to invoice them, we invoice them for the amount and they pay. When they pay, we recharge the PIN and the process starts all over. Basically, we give them a line of credit. That's how we do our post-paid system around prepaid cards.
