SUBSCRIPTION SERVICE

The primary function of a rate table is determination of the jurisdiction of each call, based upon the point of origin, dialed number and current local carrier tariffs. Since call rating is based upon jurisdiction (Local, Extended Local, IntraLata, Intrastate, Interstate, International and dozens of other combinations), failure to assign accurate jurisdiction to a call will result in inaccurate reporting of call cost. ISI-provided rate tables are built for your actual point of origin and updated regularly to reflect the most current tariff information. This ensures proper jurisdiction on every call and accurate call rating whether rates are based upon standard carrier tariffs, discounted plans, flat rates or your own custom call pricing scheme, even if you decide to zero-rate all calls. Accurate call jurisdiction (and rating, if applicable) is important in IP telephony deployments where Tail End Hop Off is utilized and is important when determining whether employees are performing as expected. Is there unnecessary long-distance calling or International calling? ISI's alarms can be triggered to alert a manager to usage patterns based on the call type (jurisdiction) of calls.

Rate tables also enable resolution of a dialed number to the actual city, state or country of destination. Management of call activity, traffic analysis and detection of abuse, misuse or fraud are all more effective when correct call destination is available on reports

As international call rating is typically based upon country specific rates, it is necessary for the call accounting system to have current information on the over 200 country codes. ISI-provided rate tables reflect the most current information on valid country codes to ensure the system properly identifies, rates and reports international calls to their actual destination. ISI's rate tables also identify international mobile terminations.
