In order to understand the various cost items and create a high-level estimate based on the current or expected usage of the current Billing Cycle, Enterprise Account Users can look into the details of the Price Plans that have been assigned to their Account.

Note that depending on the Price Plan's configuration, the set of tabs displayed in the Price Plan Details may differ (e.g. the Tiering tab is only displayed in case Tiering has been configured in the selected Price Plan).

Basic Price Plan Information

Field

Description

Type

The basic structure of a Price Plan is defined by its Type.

SMS Charge Model

SMS Charge Model specifies how SMS MO usage is rated.

  • Simple: CMP will rate the message based on A Party Location, which is defined by the Location Zone in which the SIM is located and the time of day (Time Slice).
  • Destination-based Rating: CMP will rate the message based on A Party Location (defined by the Location Zone of the SIM) and B Party Destination (defined by the Destination Zone of the SIM, which is based on the Country of the B Party (MS)ISDN and not the actual location of the SIM) and the time of day (Time Slice).

Default Commitment

Minimum contractual commitment in months.

Prepaid Validity

The Prepaid Validity specifies how long the Prepaid period will last. The term begins to count once the SIM Card or the Price Plan is activated. To account for the current day and prevent losing any validity, the defined length is always extended by one day.

The validity period of the Price Plan is defined in days, months, or years.

Prepaid Validity is only applicable for Prepaid Price Plans.

Note: Prepaid Validity is defined on a SIM level in the case of a Prepaid Flex Pool; in such cases, the field is renamed to Prepaid Validity per SIM.
