Spending Plans

A spending plan defines the amount of money per day that a customer can spend on services. PortaBilling tracks the customer's daily charges and once the spending limit is reached, this customer's services are automatically suspended. However, customers whose spending limit has been reached can still make calls to emergency numbers. Regular service usage is reinstated on the following day when the spending plan is renewed.

 

This allows to minimize losses from fraudulent events.
