🔹 Card Types and Denominations

VOS3000 supports multiple card categories based on your business model:

Card Type	Description	Use Case
Standard Card	Fixed value prepaid card	Retail calling cards
Rechargeable Card	Balance can be topped up	Customer retention
Unlimited Card	Time-based validity	Promotional offers

🔹 PIN Format Configuration

• PIN Length: Number of digits (typically 10-16)
• Prefix/Suffix: Optional fixed digits for branding
• Check Digit: Validation digit for error detection
• Randomization: Prevent sequential PIN guessing

⚙️ Phone Card Configuration Steps

Step 1: Access Phone Card Management

Navigate to Cards Management > Phone Card in the VOS3000 client interface. This section provides access to all phone card functions including creation, activation, and reporting.

Step 2: Create Phone Card Batch

To generate a batch of phone cards:

1. Click “Add” to create new batch
2. Specify card parameters:
   • Rate group for billing
   • Card value/denomination
   • Validity period
   • PIN format settings
   • Quantity to generate
3. Apply to generate cards

Step 3: Configure Card Properties

Property	Description	Example
Card Value	Initial balance on card	$5, $10, $20
Validity Days	Days until expiry from first use	30, 60, 90 days
Grace Period	Days before balance expires	7 days
Max Calls	Maximum concurrent calls	1 or 2

Step 4: Activate Phone Cards

Generated cards are initially inactive. Use Active Phone Card management to:

• Activate individual cards
• Batch activate by range
• Set first-use activation trigger
• Configure auto-activation rules

📱 Bind Number Configuration

Bind number allows customers to register their phone number (ANI) for quick authentication without entering PIN each time:

How Bind Number Works:

1. Customer calls access number
2. System recognizes ANI (caller ID)
3. If ANI is bound to a card, authentication is automatic
4. Customer can proceed to make calls

Bind Number Management:

Access Bind Number management in Cards Management section. Configure:

• Maximum binds per card
• ANI format normalization
• Bind/unbind procedures

📊 Phone Card Billing Process

Phone card billing follows specific rules:

1. Call Initiation: Customer enters PIN or system recognizes bind number
2. Balance Check: System verifies sufficient balance for destination
3. Rate Application: Card’s rate group determines per-minute cost
4. Duration Calculation: Billing cycle and minimum duration applied
5. Balance Deduction: Real-time deduction from card balance
6. CDR Generation: Call record stored for reporting

⚠️ Common Phone Card Issues and Solutions

Issue	Cause	Solution
PIN not recognized	Card not activated	Activate card in Active Phone Card
Balance not deducted	Rate group mismatch	Verify rate group assignment
Card expired prematurely	Validity calculation	Check validity and first-use date
Bind number not working	ANI format mismatch	Normalize ANI format
Multiple authentication failures	Card locked	Check lock status, reset if needed
