Code	DATA-SPLIT
Recurrence	Monthly
Value1	500*1024=512000
Value2	0
Rate Priority	1 (This bundle is given the highest priority)
Parameters	IN.RATINGCODE=NATIONAL-GPRS-CAMPAIGN;IN.RATINGKEY=HALF-PRICE-INTERNET

The bundle provides a 50 per cent discount on up to 500 MB of GPRS traffic every month. Recurrence can be set to either None (no recurrence), Daily or Monthly.

Scenario 1

A customer has an active Data Split bundle and uses 50MB. Originally, he should be charged 50 Euros, i.e. 1 Euro per MB according to the Mobile GPRS number plan.

However, the Data split bundle changes to the Mobile GPRS Campaign Pricing number plan to include the discount, and the customer is charged only 25 Euros.

Eventually, the customer reaches, e.g. 490 MB of data traffic spent, at which point he uses another 40 MB and exceeds the cap of the bundle. 10 MB are covered by the bundle discount and the remaining 30 MB are rated at the normal price, so the customer is charged a total of 35 Euros.

10 MB at 50 Cents = 5 Euros
30 MB at 1 Euro = 30 Euros

Any subsequent usage will be rated according to Mobile GPRS number plan, i.e. 1 Euro per MB. With the change of month, a new cycle will be started.

Parameters	IN.RATINGCODE=NATIONAL-GPRS-CAMPAIGN;IN.RATINGKEY=ZERO-PRICE-INTERNET;OUT.RATINGCODE=NATIONAL-GPRS-CAMPAIGN;OUT.RATINGKEY=HALF-PRICE-INTERNET

The bundle provides a 100 per cent discount on up to 500 MB of GPRS traffic every month, i.e. 500 MB is free. For data usage exceeding 500 MB the bundle provides a discount of 50 per cent. Recurrence can be set to either None (no recurrence), Daily or Monthly.

Scenario 2

A customer has an active Data Split bundle and uses 50MB. Originally, he should be charged 50 Euros, i.e. 1 Euro per MB according to the Mobile GPRS number plan.

However, the Data split bundle changes to the Mobile GPRS Campaign Pricing number plan to include the discount, and the customer is charged nothing.

Eventually, the customer reaches e.g. 500 MB of data traffic spent in the month, at which point the customer uses another 40 MB and exceeds the cap of the bundle.

The bundle then switches to the 50-Cent Mobile GPRS Campaign Pricing number plan for the rest of the period, and the customer is charged 20 Euros. With the change of month, a new cycle will be started.
