# Term Area Rating Method

The Term Area Rating Method works much like the Area Rating Method. The difference is that the Calling Area(s) that you enter in the Location field in Rate Details are the areas where calls terminate, separated by a comma.

To rate by the Term Area rating method:

1. Define the Areas (see [Defining Calling Areas](/v1/docs/defining-calling-areas)).
2. Set up Rate Plans (See [Setting up Term Area Rate Plans](/v1/docs/setting-up-term-area-rate-plans)).
3. Set up Pricing Plans (See [Setting up Term Area Pricing Plans](/v1/docs/setting-up-term-area-pricing-plans)).
