Feature description
Used in conjunction with Call Detail Recording (CDR), Charge Account bills
calls directly to specific accounts or charge numbers instead of Directory
Numbers (DN).
Charge Account supports fixed-length numbers of 0 to 23 digits (default
is 0), specified on a per-customer basis. The charge account number is
validated by the system for length only. Verification of the actual digits
entered is part of CDR downstream processing.
On Meridian 1 proprietary telephones, this feature can be activated by a
separate Charge key/lamp pair, or dial accessed. On attendant consoles,
it is activated by a separate key/lamp pair. On single-line telephones, it
is dial-accessed.
When a Charge Account number is used, the entire call is billed to that
number. The number can be entered either before or during a call, or when
Consultation Hold, Call Transfer, or Conference is activated.
