Tip
titleTip

As Packages are applied after the Rate identification in the system, it's important to understand which type of a Package will be used in a particular case. Let's say we have a Client with both Orig and Term roles in the system with the following setup:

  • both Customer and Vendor type Packages assigned with limits for '1' destination
  • orig Rate for '1' destination
  • term Rate for 1' destination

If this Client has MADE a call for '1' destination, the system will be going to create a negative Transaction for this call. As we have a respective Customer type

will be applied to termination traffic regardless of the rate

Package assigned, it will be used to bill this call.

The same Client has RECEIVED a call for '1' destination, the system will be going to create a positive Transaction for this call. As we have a respective Vendor type Package assigned, it will be used to bill this call.

Note: in case of negative pricing (negative Rates for origination or negative Rates for termination), the opposite types of Packages will be used. I.e., if we pay our Client for origination, and they have both Customer and Vendor type Packages assigned, the Vendor type Package will be used to bill origination traffic.
