Specify billing options

If you are working through the Add a new Individual Line task, this step is not required. You can click on the step if you need to see the configuration details, but you cannot make any changes. The Next pushbutton skips past this step because no changes are required.

For other tasks, this step is mandatory if you are adding a new Individual Line; it is optional if you are updating an existing one.

Enter the following information.


Parameter

Description
Charge number The 10-digit directory number to which calls are billed, which can be different from the directory number if required. If this field is left blank, calls are billed to the subscriber's directory number. This field does not appear for an Individual Line that is a Teen Service line for another line.
Billing type The type of billing used for calls within this subscriber's local area. Choose Use default or specify a value:
  • 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.
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.
