Charge types and units

Charge types specify separate, identifiable elements of charges that are used in the rating of services provided to customers. For example, charge types include mobile and national flagfall and timed charges; data transmitted and received; and time online.

Smile includes a pre-configured set of default charge types.

Common charging units

Where applicable, each charge type will specify the unit or multiple units at which it is charged. Charge units define common quantities to describe blocks of units.
