Think of progressive rates as build steps on a stair. But keep in mind that in a2billing, you can define a maximum of 4 steps: Step A, B and C and the regulat flat rate. After running the last step, the rate will default to the regular flat rate. The following drawing shows you some possibilities that you can do: One Step: Code: ____...Flat... _..A..__/ _..A..__ \____...Flat... Two steps: Code: ____...Flat...
_..B..__/ _..A..__/ _..B..__ _..A..__/ \ \____...Flat... _..A..__ \_..B..__ \___...Flat... ___...Flat... _..A..__ /___...Flat... \_..B..__/ \___...Flat... These examples show only 1 or 2 steps. Feel free to experiment the 3 steps progressive billing. Here, you can see that I have not shown any situation where the rate in step B is the same as the flat rate (the regular rateinitial). That's because it would be wiser in such situation to use only step A after which the rateinitial will be used. Quote: STEPCHARGE
Like a Connection charge when enter this step CHARGE minuterate for this step TIMECHARGE How long this Step should before entering next BILLING BLOCK Increment Have I got is right? Yes you go it right. If you want to ignore a block, simply remove its content. A2Billing will then use 0 by default. Important: Use the block in the correct order. You can only do one of the following: - Standard flat rate alone (no step A, no Step B, no Step C). This is what most users are doing. - Standard flat rate & Step A only (no Step B, no Step C) - Standard flat rate & Step A & Step B only (no Step C) - Standard flat rate & Step A & Step B & Step C Note: The rates of the steps does now have to follow any pattern. Each step can go up and down an last a long as you want. Does that help? Cheers A. Siby |

Did you really get this correct Standard flat rate alone (no step A, no Step B, no Step C). This is what most users are doing. - Standard flat rate & Step A only (no Step B, no Step C) - Standard flat rate & Step B & Step C only (no Step C) - Standard flat rate & Step A & Step C & Step C This progressive rate is very common in all Calling Card platforms |

No. That's why my mother told me never to overuse the copy/paste function. I will edit the post. |

Burak I have been able to configure and test the progressive rates as described here by asiby. Works fine. The only parameter that is still unclear to me (but can kinda guess) is announce time correction (by default equals 1) Can anyone explain how it may be wisely used? Burak |
