Field nameDescription
Tariff titleThe name of the tariff table.
Minimum dialled digitsThe minimum number of dialled digits required for the call to be logged.

Recosting calls

TIM Plus allows you to apply different rates to your already-logged calls, by re-running your data using a different tariff table. To recost calls, click on the Recost button, as shown below:
