Description
Flat-Rates means a service plan under which a Client can dial a number of minutes to certain Destinations for a fixed amount. After the user has used all his flat-rate minutes, all additional minutes are charged at the normal rate.
For example, $5.00/mo with 200 minutes to USA/Canada.
Setup
- Create a New Service with type: Flat-Rate.
- Set a Price for this Service and set how many minutes the User can chat for at this price.
- Create the Service by clicking Create.
- In the Services window near the just-created service, click the
icon. - Add the Destinations to which this Service should be applied. Use Include/Exclude to create an exact list of the prefixes you want to use with this Service.
- Add Subscription to a user to use this Service.
Included Destinations
If you add Destination with some prefix, it will include ALL Destinations with this prefix.
Example: if you add prefix 370, ALL numbers which start with 370 will be included (370*).
To see all Destinations which are included, please click following icon:
Please check video example below to get more details.
Acknowledgments
- Flat-Rates are calculated by seconds.
- Every month, the minutes available under Flat-Rates plans are reset to the initial value, which allows the client to use the same amount of minutes each new month. The clients' unused minutes for the previous month are lost.
- A Service is applicable for a whole month - that is, the service cannot start/end in the middle in the month.
- IMPORTANT: If a user is PREPAID, limit his calls to 1, because otherwise a loss is possible. (Explanation: calls will not be cut when Flat-Minutes will run out and small loss is possible till all Flat-Rate based calls will finish. After that no more calls will be possible)
- Only Admin can create and manage Flat-Rates and assign to Resellers/Users.
- Resellers CANNOT create/manage Flat-Rates nor assign them to their Users.
- Admin CANNOT put Flat-Rates on Reseller's Users
Example
This video shows how to create a Flat-Rates Service Plan for Lithuanian FIX destinations starting with prefix 370 (excluding MOB numbers starting with prefix 3706):
