The calling card account makes it possible to place outbound calls from the PBX without being logged in as extension. For example, if you are traveling and you want to place a call to an international number, you might call into the PBX, enter your extension number, your PIN code and then you can place an outbound call from the PBX. The call will show up in the call log under your account. Typically, this way you can save a lot of money for expensive international cell phone calling and you can present the caller ID of your office.

There are two modes. In the first mode, you just call into the account and authenticate yourself with your extension number and the associated PIN code. If your company can has a 0800 number, then this is a simple away to reduce costs for international calls. In the second mode, you ask the PBX to call you back. This mode takes more steps to establish a call; however it may reduce the telephone costs even further as the call to the PBX does not get connected and the caller does not have to pay anything.

The calling card account can also be used with an external database, so that you can provide this service also to customers who buy a prepaid or postpaid calling card from you. Typically they dial into a free of charge-number which goes into the calling card account. The PBX uses the SOAP interface to talk to an external application server which manages the calling cards and the amount of money which is left in them. When the call is over, the PBX will report the call duration to the server.
