Value pools

A value pool tracks the monetary amount of included usage that a subscription spends in a rating period. A subscription can have multiple value pools, for example, a mobile subscription may have a $100 value pool for local calls and a $50 value pool for mobile data downloads.

Smile resets each value pool to $0 at the start of each rating period and when a subscription changes plan. The value pool limit is pro-rated for incomplete rating periods, for example, if a subscription changes plan halfway through a month.

Default values for subscription value pools are defined on:
  • value pool limit—defined on the plan
  • value pool alert thresholds—defined on the service

You cannot change the default value pool limit or alert thresholds for a subscription.

Note: For more information about configuring value pools, see the Configuration Guide.
