Description
|
Charge number required
|
This field is used only for a PBX. Specifies whether a charge number is required for this PBX. Values:
- True
A charge number must be specified in the Charge number field. All calls from the PBX are billed to this number. In most cases you should select this option.
- False
No charge number is required. Select this option only if outbound calls from the PBX are billed by an external carrier (LD service provider), and separate billing is required for each line.
In this case, outbound calls will be charged to the calling number signaled by the PBX, which may be either the PBX's listed directory number or the DID number of the calling line. All calling numbers that can be signaled by the PBX (including the DID numbers) should be authorized for LD calling with the external carrier, to avoid the risk of call failures or billing surcharges.
|
Billing type
|
The type of billing used for calls within this subscriber's local area. Values:
- Flat rate
The subscriber pays a fixed fee that covers all local calls.
- Message rate
The subscriber is billed for each call.
- FX rate
The line is served by an exchange in a different location from the subscriber (a foreign exchange). A Message Billing Index (MBI) is recorded for each call, and can be used to provide detailed control over billing. This value is not valid when the template is being used to configure a Business Group Line.
|
Billing type - intercom calls
|
This field applies only when the template is being used to configure a Business Group. The type of billing used for intercom calls within the business group (which may not be local calls if the business group spans two or more local areas). Values:
- All flat rate
The subscriber pays a fixed fee that covers all intercom calls.
- All message rate
The subscriber is billed for each call.
- Local calls flat rate
The subscriber pays a fixed fee that covers all local intercom calls, and is billed for each non-local intercom call.
|
Deny all usage sensitive features
|
Specifies whether the subscriber is prevented from using any call services that are configured with usage sensitive billing. This field appears only if Number status is set to Normal, Ported to, or Non-geographic. Choose Use default or specify a value:
- True
The subscriber is not permitted to use any call service that is configured with usage sensitive billing; this may be configured explicitly in the subscriber configuration or by default from a Persistent Profile or the global setting.
- False
The subscriber can use all call services that are configured, regardless of the billing type.
