Overview
In some
cases it might be necessary to charge either caller or callee or both
for the on-net call based on per-minute rate. There are several optons
available in the Cloud Softswitch for doing that:
- Charging through the rate sheet using special prefixes "onnet_in" and "onnet_out";
- Charging through the service plan on per-DID basis.
Charging Using Rates
In order to change on-net calls there are two special prefixes defined in the softswitch:
- "onnet_in" - sets per-minute rate for any incoming on-net call;
- "onnet_out" - sets per-minute rate for any outbound on-net call.
It is also possible to charge voicemail access using special "voicemail_check" prefix.
These
special prefixes support the same set of charging options as regular
prefixes, such as Interbal 1, Interval N, Price 1, Price N, etc.
Charging Using Service Plan
Another
possible option for charging user for incoming calls is by setting
Accessibility Surcharges in the service plan. This is a special case for
charging user for calls that are coming through particular DID only.
This charge will not apply to any other types of incoming calls.
