# Set Billing Rates for Messages Received

This procedure describes how to set low usage rates, high usage rates, and a high/low boundary for types of messages received. The server uses these rates to calculate charges when generating billing reports.

• User messages | • Wakeup messages
• Caller messages | • Receipt response messages
• Call placement messages | • Fax received, sent, retrieval, and undelivered messages
• Future delivery messages | • Fax pages received, sent, and retrieved messages
• Urgent messages |

2. Select (M) Messages Received.

3. For one or more message types (listed above), enter the following information when prompted (you can press Enter until you reach the message type you want to set/change.):

   - At the low usage rate ($ n.nnn) ? $ prompt, enter an amount for the new usage rate ($0.01 through $64.99) OR enter 0.00 to clear the current rate OR press Enter to keep the current setting.

   - At the low/high boundary (n) ? prompt, enter a number from 1 through 65535 that represents the number of units (tenths of a minute) at which the low rate changes to a high rate (for example, 600 equals 1 hour), OR enter 0.00 to clear the current rate, OR press Enter to keep the current setting.

   - At the high usage rate ($ n.nnn) ? $ prompt, enter an amount for the new usage rate ($0.01 through $64.99) OR enter 0.00 to clear the current rate OR press Enter to keep the current setting.
