# Setting up Term Area Rate Plans

Set up one or more rate plans using the Term Area rating method. See [Adding/Editing Rates](/v1/docs/creating-a-rate-plan) to create a new rate plan.

See [Adding/Editing Rate Details](/v1/docs/creating-a-rate-plan) to add the rate details. To set up rate details specifically using the Term Area rating method:

1. Open the Rate Plan (**Applications > Product Management > Rates,** right-click the Rate Plan name and select **View Rate Details**).
2. Right-click in the table and select **New**. The Rate Details window is displayed.
3. Select the appropriate Distance Type from the drop-down.
4. Select the Term Area rating method.
5. Enter valid terminating Calling Areas. Calling areas are set up in the Calling Areas table (see [Defining Calling Areas](/v1/docs/defining-calling-areas)). You can enter multiple Term Areas separated by commas. Do not use spaces. Entries must be entered as set up in the Calling Areas table, except they are not case-sensitive. Example: ROCHESTER,Buffalo,CERT13.
