- Prepaid Calling Card Facility
Prepaid Calling Card Service includes the following features:
- Multiple Service provider support with customizable access numbers, prompts and languages.
- All IVR pages can be customized to add home menu, post PIN and post destination number dial prompts e.g.:
- Calling Card Balance at the beginning of the call.
- Maximum Call duration based on destination dialed
- Recharge by PIN
- Subscribers can initiate a new call at the end of the first call by pressing a # key.
- Multiple callers using the same PIN cannot call simultaneously in order to prevent misuse.
- Service Providers can introduce call restrictions based on parameters chosen like dialed number.
- Service Providers can introduce charge for using the IVR prompts alone if the subscriber does not complete a billable call.
- Service providers can enable Prepaid Calling in 2 different forms:
- PIN based: Using these cards, the subscriber can call from any of the phones associated with the Service Provider into an IVR and then get authenticated using his/her password. In this case, the phone does not get billed; the charges are passed on to the PIN.
- PIN Less: PINs can be associated with a specific telephone number. When a subscriber makes a call, the system captures the CLI, authorizes it and prompts the subscriber to dial the destination number.
- ANI / Web based Callback Facility
In a callback facility, the subscriber informs the system of the origination and termination numbers through a web interface or by calling into a Callback Prompt followed by the destination number where the origination number CLI is noted. The system then initiates a call to the destination and the origination numbers and connects both of them. The following are the ways through which the subscribers can initiate a Callback:
- Using a Phone:
- Through a PIN: The subscriber calls the system. The System notes the CLI and calls back the caller, prompts for the authentication PIN. Upon authentication of a valid subscriber, the system prompts the caller for the destination number and connects the Caller and Callee.
- Through ANI: The subscriber calls the system. The System notes the CLI, authorizes it and calls back with a prompt for the destination number. Upon dialing the destination number, the system connects the Caller and the Callee. Subscribers can add multiple ANI Numbers to their account,
- Through DID Number: In case the Caller ID is blocked, the subscribers can call a DID number associated with their account. The system calls back a predefined number associated with the DID number and prompts the caller for the destination number. Upon dialing the destination number, the system connects the Caller and the Callee.
- Using Web:
- The subscriber comes to the Service Provider website and gets authenticated through his/her User Id / password. The subscriber then provides the destination number on the same webpage. The system calls both Caller and Callee and connects both of them.
- This Facility can also be used for providing Click-2-Talk service to Enterprise customers. While browsing, a potential customer can click on a TALK button on a website to initiate a call to Sales / Support representative of an enterprise. The system collects the customer’s phone number and initiates a call-back to this and the enterprise number.
- Subscribers can schedule the Call Back using the web based interface.
