Now that we have a Calling Card Group and Cards, we need to create rules on how to handle all these cards.

In the new window, we enter the following details:

IVR will ask for number/PIN and destination three times at most:

That's it. The Calling Card engine is ready to serve calls.

In our example, number 37063042438 is the Access number to be dialed to reach IVR.

When you dial this number (in the example), IVR will ask for the card number/PIN to be entered and follows all other Calling Card logic.
