How can I use my rate deck?
You can use your rate deck to analyze how the rates in your Voice Billing Detail Record (BDR) are applied. As you conduct your analysis, please keep these tips in mind:
To easily isolate the type of call in the Voice BDR you're looking to compare the rates for, filter for the specific call type in column C of the Voice BDR – Statement that matches the type of deck you're looking at.
Column A in both the Voice BDR and the rate deck must show the same provisioning account ID number.
Using GVA Domestic rate decks
When dealing with a GVA domestic deck, it's important to match column A (NPANXX) in the rate deck with the NPANXX of column Q (LRN) in the Voice BDR.
Once you've confirmed that you're looking at lines with the same LRN, go to column B/C depending on if it's Interstate or Intrastate in the rate deck, and confirm that the rate there is the same as the rate for the given line in column H (Per Min Rate) in the Voice BDR.
If there's no LRN provided in the LRN column of the Voice BDR, then the call will be rated off of the NPANXX of the destination telephone number (TN). If the LRN and destination TN listed in the Voice BDR isn't in the rate deck, then the call will be rated off of the default rate listed at the top of the rate deck.
Using GVA National rate decks
Find the destination phone number on the Voice BDR- Statement
Pull up the GVA_NATIONAL rate deck and click on the Destination_Definitions tab at the bottom.
Filter column D "DestinationPrefix" to the NPAN of the destination phone number
Look at column B "CSP"
Click on the National_Rates tab at the bottom of the rate deck and filter column C "DESTINATION" to the destination.
Look at column D to find the pricing
Look at the Voice BDR- Statement in column H "Per Min Rate"
The rates should match between the rate deck and the Voice BDR-Statement
Using GVA International rate deck
Find the destination NPAN on the Destination Definitions tab.
Look at Column C “Destination” to see the destination CSP the call would fall into.
Click on the International Rates tab and find the correlating destination name in column A.
For most destinations, there is no origins group need (marked with an *) so you can use the rate found in column D “International Rate”. If there is an origin group code in column B, go to the next step.
Click on the Origin Group Destination tab and locate the origin group code given in the last step.
Look at the originating source prefix of the call on your Voice BDR- Statement. Match the Source prefix of that call to the same in column C “SOURCEPREFIX.
Look at column A to see the Origin Group to use on the International Rates Tab.
Note: It's important to remember that the Voice Daily BDR report might be delayed a few days as traffic can take time to rate fully. To find the billing detail that ties directly with your Bandwidth invoice, take a look at the Statement Voice BDR – Statement data in the Bandwidth App.
