Ericpol IMS Freephone/Premium Rate

The Ericpol Freephone/Premium Rate (or 0-800/0-700 over SIP) is an enterprise segment solution that offers a very flexible way of providing the reverse charging functionality or applying special tariffs, respectively.
The Freephone model permits companies to offer callers free-of-charge access to services such as infoline. The cost of such calls is fully covered by the service subscriber. The Freephone service is widely used by companies that wish to encourage customers to call them, for example travel agencies. Subscribers can accept incoming calls according to specific criteria, including announcements, thus enabling an easy personalization of the service to a specific location or enterprise.

The Premium Rate model allows the provision of numbers or services which will be charged at special rates.

In most cases, this service is linked to the delivery of content or information of importance to the called party.
