You will need to have the CCMI data files available before you start. You will also need your tariff, a firm idea of how you plan to compete in that location, and the CCMI Q-Tel 9000 Rate Center Files for the state for which you are setting up rates. It may also be helpful to have either the Q-Tel 9000 Rate Center documentation or a link to their online documentation on the Web. For residential rate plans it is usually helpful to have the local phone book for the area you are setting up rate plans (optional).
Note
For the Q-Tel 9000 online documentation, visit the CCMI site. Your IDI Billing Solutions' Program Manager can direct you to the location of the documentation. In this document you can find the calling plan listing for the state and OCN you are going to mimic. The descriptions found there may be useful in determining which Local Calling Area call plans you will be using in the IDI solution.
