(warning)   Attention

Please note that rates with Src Codes are not used when termination tariffs are chosen for Dynamic Routing. This functionality is going to be reworked in the upcoming releases.


Src Code NameIndicate a source code name
Rate

Price per unit of a service

Interval

Tariffication interval. This parameter is used when Min Volume expires. For instance, if call time is 26 seconds, Min Volume is 25, and Interval is 8, the client will pay for 33 seconds

Min VolumeMinimal time of the call that will be tariffed. For example, if the total call time was 20 seconds and the Min Volume is 30, the client will pay for 30 seconds of the call.

Grace Volume

Time interval that will not be tariffed (free time). For instance, if you specified 5 sec as Grace Volume, all calls with duration up to 5 seconds (including calls with a session time of 5 seconds) will be free of charge.

Setup Fee

Setup fee (charged when event duration is longer than 0 seconds)
Effective DateRate start date (newest available rate for a particular destination)

End Date

After a specified date, the target rate will not be used
ServicesSelect a service for a current rate (calls, SMSs, data)

Policy

This option allows selecting a rate type for a code: regular rate or an additive (extra) rate:

    • regular rate - this policy signifies a usual rate definition for the event;
    • additive (extra) rate - this policy signifies that this rate will be added to a regular rate for the event. 

During billing, the system takes one regular rate and all additive (extra) rates that are appropriate for the call.  Please note, a regular/additive rate table will be determined by accessible dynamic and static tags used for the call.

(warning)   Attention

Please note that the system uses only the 'Rate' parameter from the additive rates' settings when billing.


Time Profile

Time profile that will be used for a current rate. For example, business time, non-business time, weekends, etc.

Tag

Specify a tag for the respective rates. If it's not applicable, assign a (@) tag as a default

Notes

Additional information about the current rate
Stash Future Rates

Select what the system should do to the future rates for the same destinations existing in the system:

  • preserve;
  • stash.
Force Notification

Select the system behavior regarding the notification process for the newly created rate:

  • hold;
  • force.

Number Length

Specify a minimum and maximum length of the destination number.

For example, if you have a rate of 3 USD for 123 Dst Code with indicated number length from 6 to 9, and another rate of 5 USD for the same 123 Dst Code without a specified number length, all calls with a Dst Number between 6 and 9 digits will be billed by 3 USD, otherwise, by 5 USD.
