Feature description
Forced Charge Account (FCA) temporarily overrides Class of Service
limitations for toll-denied users. Use Forced Charge Account long distance
calls to an account number when calling from a telephone that is restricted
from making long distance calls. The unrestricted Class of Service provided
by FCA applies for the duration of the call.
When the account number is entered, a charge record is produced on a
Call Detail Recording (CDR) device.
FCA supports variable-length numbers of 1 to 23 digits. The minimum value
for the account number is specified at the customer level.
A valid account number equals or exceeds the minimum value defined, and
is validated by the system for length only. Verification of the actual digits
entered is part of Call Detail Recording (CDR) downstream processing.
FCA can be allowed or denied at both customer and user levels. Users
include any station or TIE and Common Control Switching Arrangement
(CCSA) type trunks assigned a Toll-Denied (TLD), Conditionally Toll-Denied
(CTD), or Conditionally Unrestricted (CUN) Class of Service.
