Shared 840/848 number
Sharing costs between callers and callees
Shared cost 840/848 numbers distribute the cost of telephone calls between callers and callees, with a consequent reduction of costs for businesses.
With a shared 840 number, callers always pay a fixed rate on answering, regardless of the duration of the call.
With a shared 848 number, on the other hand, callers pay a variable rate depending on the call’s duration, equal to the cost of a local telephone call. The remainder of the call is charged to the callee, who can choose a solution that best suits his or her needs from among TWT’s different charge formulas.
