GPRS Pricing Configuration Overview

RATING_CODE/SERVICE	Number Plan	Plan Element	Charge Item Price per MB
NATIONAL-DATA	Mobile GPRS	-INTERNET (has bundle attached)	1 Euro
NATIONAL-GPRS-CAMPAIGN	Mobile GPRS Campaign Pricing	-HALF-PRICE-INTERNET	50 cents

Bundle Configuration

Name	HALF PRICE 500MB Data bundle
Code	DATA-SPLIT
Recurrence	None, Daily, 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.

Scenario 1

A customer has an active Data Split bundle and uses 50MB. Originally, he should be charged 50 Euros (1 Euro per MB in the price configuration).

However, the Data split bundle changes to the alternative 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 1 Euro, less 50 per cent = 5 Euros
30 MB at 1 Euro = 30 Euros

The subscription bundle becomes inactive until the next period, because the bundle cap is reached.

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.

Scenario 2

A customer has an active Data Split bundle and uses 50MB. Originally, he should be charged 50 Euros (1 Euro per MB in the price configuration).

However, the Data split bundle changes to the alternative 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 50 per cent discount for the rest of the period, and the customer is charged 20 Euros.
