Zone Model-Based Pricing

Expected Result:

Pricing based on Calling party and the Called Party (e.g., Calls from US to EU countries, calls from EU to Rest of the world countries)

Variants:

• Pricing based on distance between Calling and Called party
• Pricing based on zone setup using wild-card expressions (example Called party zone setup as "44*" for calls to any number in UK)
• Pricing based on best match for the zone setup (example Called Party zone setup as "44123*" and "44*", where if the called party number starts with "44123", then the "44123*" zone should be used and not "44*"

Setup:

1. Set up zone model configurations under Configurations → Models → Zone Model. Refer to the Zone Model configurations section under "3. Allegro Configurations → Models → Zone Model" for more documentation.
2. Set up the plan, plan rate schedule, and plan services as required in core Aria.
3. Set the price offer in Aria Allegro for usage services as follows:
   1. Select Pricing Model as Transaction Attribute-based or Composite, if combining with other models. This adds a section for Transaction Attributes in the UI.
   2. Leave the Time-model attributes as blank or select corresponding values as ANYDAY, ANYTIME, ANYHOLIDAY. 
   3. Select Zone Model from the drop-down list of applicable zone model configurations for the service-type. If only one zone-model configuration is setup for the service-type, it is automatically selected.
   4. Select Zone from the Zone model configuration selected from the drop-down list. as required. Options include configured holiday names or ANYHOLIDAY to apply pricing to any holiday.
   5. Add currency (rates), accumulator, and allowance as needed.
4. Use Add Transaction attribute to add more pricing combinations. Repeat steps 3 and 4 as needed. It is advisable to set up a zone with a default (fall-through) pricing where the called and calling party both are set as '*' (any). Pricing for this default zone should also be set up.
5. The rest of the setup and process remains unchanged.
