Background
Currently, the charging methods mainly include two types: a prepaid charging mode and a postpaid charging mode. Wherein, the post-payment mode mainly adopts an off-line charging mode to charge; and the prepayment mainly adopts an online charging mode for charging. Generally, the two charging methods are mutually independent charging processes. With the development of globalization, the range of activities of mobile terminal users is becoming wider and wider. When a Mobile terminal user is roaming, for example, in a country of an international roaming area, part of the switches (MSC) support online charging, and part of the switches do not support the online charging. For example, when a postpaid subscriber is roaming internationally, some countries may support online charging for some switches and some switches may not. When the user roams to the country, if the user makes a call under the switchboard supporting online charging, the user will report to the charging system for charging processing and generate a roaming ticket; if the call is made under the exchange which does not support the online charging, the call will not be reported to the charging system for charging processing, but the roaming bill will be generated. When the roaming ticket is returned to the charging system through the clearing center, the charging system cannot distinguish which has been charged and which has not been charged, which results in charging errors.

and acquiring a call ticket generated after the call is finished, and carrying out charging processing on the charged terminal according to the call ticket.
Meanwhile, the embodiment of the invention also provides a charging system, which comprises a mobile switching center and a charging device, wherein,
the mobile switching center is used for sending an online charging request to the charging device according to the user call, wherein the online charging request carries the identification information of the charged terminal;
the charging device receives the online charging request, judges whether the charged terminal belongs to roaming according to the identification information of the charged terminal, directly sends an indication message for continuing the call if the charged terminal is judged to belong to roaming, acquires a call ticket generated after the call is finished, and performs charging processing on the charged terminal according to the call ticket.
