bucket plans pricing model telecom.

Контекст:
SMS is currently the most widely used medium for mobile advertising largely due to:
1. Its popularity: 80 percent adoption among mobile users, according to comScore
2. Attractive pricing options: Bucket plans pricing models
и т.д.

Вот еще про Bucket plan (немного из другой оперы, но мне кажется, что модель должна быть такой же)
...forget the claendar he told employees: every time we hit $75,000 in net earnings, we'll pay a bonus. Wilson dubbed his system the Bucket Plan, figuring that hitting each $75,000 target was like filling up a bucket with profits. He added a couple of rules. The first buckets in a year pay less than later ones, so there's an incentive to keep filling them up. And if year-to-date sales are at least 25% above last year's whenever a bucket is filled, that bucket's bonus doubles.

Rather than calendar-based (quarterly, annual), the Bucket Plan is based on increments of profit. When the company fills a "bucket" with X dollars of profit, a bonus is paid. Fill more buckets and get more bonus checks! Although the Bucket Plan is relatively simple to design and install, there are many subtle tips and issues that should be considered. We will gladly review your current bonus plan, and help you develop a more effective plan.

Вопрос: что такое этот Bucket Plan?
Пример нашла такой "Globe Bucket Plan – P5 for 10 messages"

Речь о том, что как только ты, как только посылаешь 10 SMS, получаешь 5 пенни в подарок?
И как это можно обозвать по-русски?

Спасибо!

SMS-пакеты это, судя по всему.
Платишь 100 рублей -- получаешь 300 смс(ведро), которые потом тратишь.

А не наоборот - сначала шлешь 300 sms а потом получаешь 5 рублей бонуса?

Эта фраза точно об этом

И Globe Bucket Plan – P5 for 10 messages тоже судя по всему про это. P5 - это больше похоже на бонус, чем на стоимость 10 SMS

Пример использования(http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/45374-37-yahoo-vision-phone)
I notice that I get text messages when a new message comes in on AIM,
even if I'm in the browser and looking at the one of the AIM screens. Am I
correct in assuming these count against my monthly bucket and cost money
if I go over? How do MSN and Yahoo IM work -- same way, or are they completely
web based? Is there any way to turn off new message notifications on AIM?

Так что, "смс-пакет".
