· Time Base Restriction can be implemented, so that users of this package can only be connected in the defined timing. And if user will be connected at the time when the defined time gets finished then user will be disconnected and will not be able to connect again.
· Administrator can set the option regarding the particular plan that it is accessible by the dealers or not. For example if an ISP creates a plan which is only for its employees then ISP can apply the restriction on its viewing.
· Also any plan can be deactivated at any time

System Security
Two types of access implementation is provided. One is the IP-based and other is username/password. All the functionality in this software is divided into different tasks. System Administrator can combine different task into different roles and those roles are assigned to different billing system administrators. For example Administrator can create a user (help desk), which can only view the payment received but can't modify it. Also can access the Management reports section but can't access the system administration section.

Prepaid/Postpaid billing
Both prepaid and postpaid billing schemes are supported. Postpaid users don't get locked where advance or prepaid users get disconnected and locked when ever their current balance becomes less than their credit limit. Usually prepaid users have credit limit zero.

Invoice System
Complete invoices system is provided, invoices can be generated automatically and manually, and can be sent to users through emails. Also users can see their old and pending invoices online.

Corporate Billing
Parent and child account can be created (multiple PIN numbers against one account number). Payments and usage done against the account number, that's means their current balance is calculated at one point. Whenever any user (PIN) of type corporate gets locked all the users of that corporate account get locked and whenever payment is received all the users of that particular corporate account get unlocked. Also their usage is calculated separately and can be viewed separately. This feature is optional and can be turned off at any time.

Lapse Plan/Packages
Monthly lapse packages can be defined. In this way we can restrict users to finish their purchased minutes within the specified days. And if users consumed the purchased minutes before the lapse date then his/her account gets locked. When any user account gets lapsed, records are inserted into the user usage detail, so that user can view the lapsed detail.

Prepaid (scratch cards) Calling Cards
In this module prepaid (scratch) cards are generated, activated and sold to dealers or locations (outlets of an ISP). The complete information about cards, dealers and location is maintained.

Locations/Dealers
Support of a dealer/location network is included. Dealers can take cash and create users from their premises. Also administrator can restrict dealers to their credit limits and also to the number of users that a dealer can create. Payment history of dealers and locations is maintained. Also check bounce functionality and reporting is provided.

Low Credit Alert Emails
Low credit email will be sent to users whenever their balance becomes less than the specified amount. Administrator can set the low credit email functionality against the plans, and it is in the control of administrator to send the low credit emails to users of some selected plans because in case of prepaid cards normally emails accounts are not provided to users and low credit emails alerts are not sent to them. All the email setting is provided in the company setting options, where email text (Subject, Body) is editable. Also the number of warning email, which will be sent to a user, is configurable.

Edited data and Reports
If any billing system administrator updates the record of a user, then logs are kept so that the security check can be implemented. For example any payment is updated, password or pin code is updated then logs will be maintained so that later on it can be figured out who did it.
