Example:
Suppose you have set the call tariff to 0.25. During a call when the first meter-
ing pulse is received, the call costs are 0.25. With the second pulse, they are
0.50 and so on.
The base station is provided with a call budgeting feature, which you can use
to set the amount of money or time a particular handset can spend on external
calls. When the budget for a particular handset has been exceeded, the base
station does not end an ongoing call but blocks the next external call until a
new budget is set. However, emergency calls and calls to exempt numbers can
still be made (see “Exempt numbers” on page 62).
If a particular handset has gone over its budget, the handset sounds busy and
displays
No Budget
when an external call is attempted.
Budget type
Either time or costs can be budgeted depending on the budget type setting.
Costs can only be budgeted if the call tariff is set and the base station receives
metering pulses during a call. If no metering pulses are received during an
external call, the cost budget remains the same. See also “Call tariff” on
page 63.
