A method of charging for a communication connection which leads via a packet-switched communications network

A method of charging for a communication connection, which is established from a first communication terminal (A) via a packet-switched communications network (4) through the transmission of message packets to a destination communication terminal (B), the target communication terminal (B) a call forwarding to at least one has set up further communication device (C), comprising the steps of: - the first communication terminal (A) transmits via a controlling network entity (5) of the communication network (4) to the destination communication terminal (B) a signaling message (1) - the destination communication terminal (B) transmits after receipt of the signaling message (1) in the communique Unia desk network (4) a response signaling message (2) in which the transfer is displayed, - a billing system that is at least partially arranged in the controlling network unit (5), the response signaling message (2) used are assigned at a charge allocation by which the obtained in the forwarding fee to the target communication device (B), from the target communication terminal (B) in the communication network (4) returned response signaling message (2) from the network controlling unit (5) is received, and from this through the ...
