Calling Card Groups

A Card Group is a set (array) of Calling Cards.

Properties

• Image – just for informational purposes and eye pleasure to view on the GUI. Can be (and should be) the same as the real printed card for consistency. But that's not the rule.
• Description – a short memo for admin to view some more info for the cards. It is useful when there are a lot of Card Groups and the Card Group name is not enough.
• Starting price (Price) – the price which all Cards in this Group will have before first use. It does not include VAT. It's in the default currency.
• Setup Fee – the fee which will be charged when a call is connected the FIRST time when the card is used.
• Ghost minute percent – a value to trick the user into thinking he has more minutes when he really has less.

Example:

A user has enough balance in his card to call for 50 minutes. Ghost minute percent = 120. So when the user enters his number/PIN, the system tells: "You have 60 minutes remaining" (50/100 * 120). Note: this is not an increase in percent; it is the value by which the actual minutes should be multiplied to tell them to the user.

• • Custom Ghost Minute Percent per Destination for Calling Card Group (This option is available starting from MOR9).
• Ghost balance percent - same as Ghost Minute Percent, but this value only applies to the Balance which is told to the user (This option is available starting from MOR9).
• Daily Charge – the amount which will be deducted EACH day from the card starting from the date when the card is used for the first time. This means, if the user makes his first call on Monday and his second call on Friday, his card will be deducted for 5 days using this value (Mo, Tu, We, Th, Fr).
• TAX percent – the actual value which will be used when presenting the Card's price to the User, i.e. when telling the user his remaining balance on the Card or showing the same information on the screen.
• Least Cost Routing (LCR) – which LCR will be used for all Cards in this Card Group.
• Tariff – price list which will be used for this Card Group.
• Location – this is useful when Cards will be sold in a region with specific dialing rules. Rules for location can vary for different Calling Card Groups.
• Number Length – the length of the Card's number. You can select any value here. It is recommended to select different values for different Card Groups to minimize risk of guessing another card's number and using it unauthorized. Card numbers are generated in sequence order.
• PIN Length – number of the Card's PIN. Same recommendation applies as for Card's Number. PINs are generated randomly.
• Valid from - from which date Cards are valid.
• Valid till - till which date Cards are valid.
• Valid after first use - how many days a Card is valid after first use. Default 0 means that card is valid forever.

Management

Card Groups, like many other entities in MOR, can be created/edited/deleted/viewed.

If a Calling Card module is enabled, you can find it (as Administrator) in: ADDONS – Calling Cards.

Here you can review your active Calling Card Groups:

(..) – shows the Cards window, where you can manage Group's Cards.
