Call Rate Tables (Local And Long Distance Calls)

Description: The system compares local calls and long distance calls that do not match entries in any
exception table, office code band table, zone call band table or area code band table with
the entries that you have made in call rate tables 2–10 and 29–33. It then costs those calls
with the rates assigned to the call rate tables with the entries that matches the dialed
numbers.
Costing by call rate table is the third priority level of costing for local calls and the fourth
priority level of costing for long distance calls. You can use the call rate tables to cost
any calls that require special or extraordinary rates such as 1-800-555-1212 or
1-900-976-nnnn.
When you make entries in the call rate tables, enter digits that match digits in the
numbers that users dial from their stations. You can program a maximum of 16 digits into
each call rate table. Since a dialed number must match all of the digits that you have
entered into a table before the system recognizes a match, you can program # characters
into a table in place of a specific digits to serve as "match anything" digits. This feature
eliminates the need for entering every number is a series of numbers that you wish to cost
at a special rate (for instance, 1900#######).
If the system can not match a dialed number with entries that you have made in the call
rate tables, it costs that call with the rate that you have assigned to call rate table 1 (the
table of last resort for costing all calls).
Office code band tables = call rate tables 18–24
Zone call band tables = call rate tables 25–28
Area code band tables = call rate tables 11–17
