Prepaid Calling Card

PEC customers have deployed tens of thousands of telecom applications over the years using our software solutions. CardSaver™ allows both startup and experienced prepaid companies to offer Prepaid Calling Card services to customers.

We list this item first not only because it is one of the products that we provide, but because it is the most vital in the list. Choosing a good billing software will ensure that every call made through your system is tracked and no call is left unbilled. CardSaver™ by PEC is not only a robust, dependable software package, it is also the simplest and most user-friendly package in the industry. CardSaver enables you to view reports on traffic passing in and out of your system. CardSaver also gives you complete control over your calling cards, including PIN generation, usage fees, expiration dates, and much more. CardSaver is a vital component for developing a solid infrastructure.

Fees Supported by CardSaver

• Activation Fee – The first time a cardholder uses his card, he will be charged an activation fee.
• Connection Fee – Each time a cardholder makes a call, he will be charged a connection fee.
• Disconnect Fee Factor – Each time a caller makes a call, the total duration of the call will be reduced by the percentage specified by the Disconnect fee.
• Maintenance Fee – After a specified period of time, whether it be 6 hours or 30 days, a cardholder will be charged a maintenance fee.
• Toll Free Fees – If a customer is calling into your service via a toll free number, the customer will be charged a surcharge per minute.
• Expiration after First Use – After a specified period of time following the first use of a card, the card will expire and become unusable.
• Extended Billing Increments – If the billing increment is set to 3 minutes, a call lasting 9 minutes and 3 seconds would be billed for 12 minutes.

Price Discrimination

Almost every company takes advantage of this economic practice whether you realize it or not. The idea is to charge more to customers that are willing to pay more, and charge less to customers that are not. CardSaver allows you to brand different cards and set different rates for each card, thus allowing you to take advantage of price discrimination. Generally, when calling card companies create a new brand of card, it is targeted toward a specific region of the world.

Infrastructure

The VoIP gateway that handles all of the calls into and out of your system is the next vital component. If your hardware fails, your customers calls will not go through. Thus, we recommend choosing one of two brands for your VoIP gateway: Cisco or Quintum. Although we are a proud reseller of Quintum hardware, CardSaver fully integrates with Cisco VoIP gateways.

You have a choice of using a high end server dedicated with a Windows Server OS, a Virtual Windows Server running on a VMWare platform, or just running a Virtual server in the CLOUD such as AWS or Azure.
