<h2>Recost</h2>

<p>
TTIM
Plus provides the option to re-cost calls. This means call data can
be re-run and a different tariff table applied. You have the option
to select the new tariff you would like to apply as well as the
period you would like to re-cost calls for.

<p>Simply select the new tariff from the drop-down list and then select the
option to re-cost 'All calls' or enter in a specific period.</p>

<h2>Status</h2>

<p>.........................................................</p>

<h2>Localise</h2>

<p>You can tell TIM Plus where you are based and localise your tariffs 
accordingly. e.g. if you are based in London, you will need to tell it 
so that all calls to surrounding areas are treated as local.</p>

<p>To localise a tariff, click on the <span class="button">Localise</span> as shown below:</p>

<img class="screenshot" src="http://www.tri-line.com/common/img/documentation/tim_plus/localise_tariff_editor_1.png" alt="Tariff editor" />

<p>The following window will pop-up. Simply enter in your local dialcode and click <span class="button">Check</span>. 
All surrounding area codes will automatically be added. Finally click on the <span class="button">Localise</span> button to localise your tariffs.</p>
