2. Cost calculator

Single DID, Month 1:₹1,000 setup + ₹200 rental = ₹1,200 (+ taxes)

Bulk (n DIDs), Month 1:(₹1,000 + ₹200) × n = ₹1,200 × n (+ taxes)

From Month 2 onward:₹200 × n (+ taxes)

Copy-paste formula:

Total_Month1  = 1200 * <number_of_DIDs>Total_Month2+ =  200 * <number_of_DIDs>

3. Where to see the price before you buy

  1. Dashboard → Manage → DIDs → Add New.
  2. Filter by region/prefix and select a number.
  3. Review the setup fee, rental, and tax line on the confirmation pop-up.
  4. Click Confirm only if the total matches your budget.

4. Billing & renewals

• Setup fee is charged once at purchase; rental is billed every month.

• First-month rental may be prorated if your account bills on calendar months.

• Releasing a DID stops future rental; the current billing period is not refunded

• Invoices/receipts: Dashboard → Billing → Invoices.

5. Edge cases—when prices change

  1. Compliance/KYC: Some regions need documents; fees appear only after approval.
  2. Vanity or premium numbers: Higher setup and/or rental fees apply.
  3. Bulk-purchase discounts: Available for large orders—request a quote.
  4. Port-in vs. buy: Porting an existing number follows a separate fee table.
  5. Usage charges: Call minutes, recordings, and add-ons are billed separately.

6. Examples

Scenario

Month 1 total

Month 2 onward

1 DID

₹1,000 + ₹200 = ₹1,200 (+ taxes)

₹200 (+ taxes)

5 DIDs

(₹1,200 × 5) = ₹6,000 (+ taxes)

₹200 × 5 = ₹1,000 (+ taxes)

Mid-month buy*

₹1,000 + prorated rental

₹200 (+ taxes)

7. Troubleshooting

Common questions:

• “Price for my region is blank.” → Number out of stock or KYC pending—open a ticket.

• “Charged but DID inactive.” → Check Provisioning status; attach invoice in ticket.

• “Invoice higher than expected.” → Review taxes, proration, or add-ons.
