The Usage Counters component enables the usage of custom volume and occurrence counters (volume-based billing).

By setting usage counter thresholds for metered usage of services providers can differentiate their offerings to better target their customers.  As each account consumes services the usage counter will be incremented until the usage counter threshold is reached. Once the threshold is reached any further usage of services will be charged on the regular tariffs.

Core features include:

• Manage multiple usage counters per subscription plan – create, modify, copy, delete usage counter
• Support for both per minute or per occurrence usage counters
• Assign Usage Counter Tariff to rate calls in the usage counter
• Manage counter tax base: tax actual charged amount or tax would be amount if the call had to be charged on the regular plan tariff
• Automatic and manual reset usage counter value
