Abstract

The invention relates to a system for vending prepaid products, comprising a central data bank (2) and at least one vending device (4), provided with a data memory, that can be interlinked via a telecommunication link (3). The aim of the invention is to create a uniform vending platform. To this end, the prepaid products are stored as code words in the central data bank (2) and are transferred to the data memory of the vending device (4) via the telecommunication link (3). The code words are combined to data packages with a predetermined, preferably small number of code words. The vending device (4) outputs a code word to the client after sale and feedbacks the number of code words sold to the central data bank (2) after one or several sales. The central data bank (2) monitors the number of code words still available in the vending device (4) and transmits a new data package with new code words when the number of code words falls below a predetermined value.
