# Orig Area Rating Method

The Orig 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 originate, separated by a comma.

To rate by the Orig Area rating method:

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