Call Surcharges

Call Surcharges can be found on the left hand side under reports then Call Surcharges

 

Call Surcharges are extra charges applied to calls for inbound and outbound calls. These charges have been introduced because the cost of making outbound calls have dropped so low that carriers like Mobile operators want to make up the difference by charging these surcharges.

See below for what each charge is and how it relates to calling.

You can search a particular destination here to see if charges apply to it. You can also leave the search bar blank and it will show you all the surcharges and the type of call it applies to.

Group

Country group of the caller line ID being displayed.

Landline - ppm

This is the charge that will apply if you are displaying the caller ID of the group and calling out to a Landline/VoIP number in the UK

Example. I am displaying a Syria number and calling a landline 01/02 number. The 10p charge applies per minute on top of the normal calling rate, even if you have inclusive minutes.

Mobile - ppm

This is the charge that will apply if you are displaying the caller ID of the group and calling out to a Mobile number in the UK

Example. I am displaying a Syria number and calling a Mobile 07 number. The £2 charge applies per minute on top of the normal calling rate, even if you have inclusive minutes.

In Country - ppm

This is the charge that will apply if you are displaying the caller ID of the group and calling out to the same country group

Example. I am displaying a Switzerland Orange Mobile number and calling a Switzerland Corp number. The 5p charge applies per minute on top of the normal calling rate, even if you have inclusive minutes.

Other Country - ppm

This is the charge that will apply if you are displaying the caller ID of another country group and calling out to this country group

Example. I am displaying a Syria number and calling a Switzerland Sunrise Mobile number. The 68p charge applies per minute on top of the normal calling rate, even if you have inclusive minutes.

It's not very straightforward, but hopefully, the above guide helps.
