OptionDetails
<indivisible_cost>Set up a fixed cost that is charged even if the call duration is less than indivisiblethe <indivisible_interval>.
<currency>This is the system currency, as set up in the Unified CommunicationsSettings → Zero Priority Charging tab.
<indivisible_interval>Specify the number of seconds for which the <indivisible_cost> is charged. The account has to pay the same amount even if an outgoing call lasts less than the <indivisible_interval> specified here.
<cost>Set up the fee that is charged for every <charging_interval> of an outgoing call.

In the example below, all the calls to area code 021 are charged with 0.05 USD for the first 30 seconds, regardless if the call is shorter than this time interval, and with 0.025 USD for every 15 seconds when it exceeds this period.

Also, the Bucharest minutes package is offered with this rule, providing the service provider 500 free minutes.

titleRelative to Call Costs

In the example below, all calls to area code 021 are charged with the channel cost multiplied with 1.2 (if the price charged by the channel provider for calls to this destination is, for example, 0.01 USD/30 seconds, then the service provider has to pay 1.2 * 0.01 = 0.012 USD/30 seconds). To this amount, the service provider is charged an extra 0.003 USD for every 30 seconds. If we consider a 1 minute call, then the total fee charged is 2 * 0.012 + 2 * 0.003 = 0.03 USD.

Also, the Bucharest minutes package is offered with this rule, providing the service provider 500 free minutes.
