Cisco Calling Plan | Managing call volume (maximum, alert, notify)

Hello.

A traditional PSTN calling plan that has bundled minutes with charges for overages, would in most cases have a way to manage, alert, and notify the admin.

These parameters can be made by the PSTN provider on behalf of the end-customer, or by the end-customer via a portal to their PSTN service.

This type of functionality is not currently in place for Cisco Calling Plans and this is causing some customers to decide to go with a different PSTN option or even a different solution that this can be done.

So the ask here is with Control Hub when configuring PSTN using Cisco's Calling Plan:

  1. Set thresholds of usage.

  2. These thresholds have alert levels.

  3. These alert levels notify nominees automatically.

The main concern from the end-customer is runaway usage equaling spending.

Can we make this happen?

Thank You,
Steven

    Webex Calling is targeted to SMB, these customers expect cost controls, particularly usage caps for chargeable calls. Without these controls, it's difficult to offer Cisco Calling Plans to smaller businesses.
