*Duration (Voice) Pricing Configuration Overview*

|| RATING_CODE/SERVICE || Number Plan || Plan Element || Charge Item Price per Minute \\ ||
| VOICE-NATIONAL \\ | National Voice Calls  \\ | \-FIXEDLINE (has bundle attached) | 1 Euro  \\ |
| VOICE-NATIONAL-CAMPAIGN  \\ | National Voice Calls Campaign Pricing  \\ | \-HALF-PRICE-VOICE-NATIONAL  \\ | 50 cents \\ |



*Bundle Configuration*

|| Name | HALF PRICE 500MIN Voice National bundle ||
|| Code | DURATION-SPLIT ||
|| Recurrence | Monthly ||
|| Value1 | 500*60=30000 ||
|| Value2 | 0 ||
|| Rate Priority | 1 (This bundle is given the highest priority) ||
|| Parameters | IN.RATINGCODE=VOICE-NATIONAL-CAMPAIGN;IN.RATINGKEY=HALF-PRICE-VOICE-NATIONAL ||

The  bundle is configured to provide special pricing for up to 500 minutes of national voice call per month. Recurrence can be set to either None (no recurrence), Daily or Monthly.






h4. Scenario 1

A customer has an active Duration Split bundle and uses 50 minutes. Originally, he should be charged  50 Euros (1 Euro per minute according to the _National Voice Calls_ number plan).

However, the Duration split bundle changes to the _National Voice Calls Campaign Pricing_ number plan to include the discount, and the customer is charged only 25 Euros. 

Eventually, the customer reaches, e.g.  490 minutes spent, at which point he uses another 60 minutes and exceeds the cap of the bundle.  10 minutes are covered by the bundle discount and the remaining 50 min are rated at the normal price, so the customer is charged a total of 55 Euros.
* 10 min at 50 Cents   =   5 Euros
* 50 min at 1 Euro       = 50 Euros

Any subsequent usage will be rated according to _National Voice Calls_ number plan, i.e. 1 Euro per minute. With the change of month, a new cycle will be started.

h4. Scenario 2

A customer has an active Duration Split bundle and uses 50 min. Originally, he should be charged  50 Euros (1 Euro per minute according to the _National Voice Calls_ number plan).

However, the Duration split bundle changes to the _National Voice Calls Campaign Pricing Free_ number plan to include the discount, and the customer is charged nothing.

Eventually, the customer reaches e.g.  500 mins of voice traffic spent in the month, at which point the customer uses another 60 minutes and exceeds the cap of the bundle.

The bundle then switches to the _National Voice Calls Campaign Pricing 50 Per Cent_ number plan for the rest of the period, and the customer is charged 30 Euros. With the change of month, a new cycle will be started.
