Billing System

Convergent charging and billing is an integral part of the Voipswitch class 5 platform. It enables common management of all users and all deployed services. In addition, the system includes convergence of payment methods like prepaid and postpaid, as well as access methods and services like Calling Cards, mobile VoIP, residential and enterprise telephony and VOD/IPTV.

The main characteristics attributed to a convergent charging & billing system are support for multiple service types such as voice, video, SMS, DIDs and content, support for bundling of services and the ability to create a single bill and call details record.

The charging system has the ability to control services and manage balances in real-time. This includes, for example, authenticating the subscriber and checking the account balance before service delivery to the end user. The system can also notify users when the account balance threshold set by the operator is reached, or terminate service connectivity when real-time charging indicates that credit has been depleted. This real-time capability can be used to deliver promotions and notifications to service users to stimulate usage.
