Reconcile your Genesys Cloud Voice invoice against your usage report

You can reconcile your Genesys Cloud Voice invoice against your usage report. In addition, you can use the filter feature on the Genesys Cloud Voice / Number Management page to check the phone numbers that appear on the invoice.

The total usage charges on your invoice include the following: 

  • Calling service charges
  • Non-recurring charges (set up fees) for toll-free and DID numbers
  • Monthly recurring charges for toll-fee and DID numbers
  • Short duration call surcharge

When you’re looking at your Genesys Cloud Voice usage report, you’ll see records that correspond to:

  • Outbound calling service
  • Inbound calling service
  • Extended outbound calling service.
Note: Monthly recurring and non-recurring charges are not included in call detail records and must be reconciled separately by looking at the Number Management page. 

When you’re looking at your Genesys Cloud Voice invoice, you’ll see the following types of phone numbers:

  • US Local Number: US phone number that resides within the lower 48 states
  • US Extended local Number: US phone number that resides outside the lower 48 states. This would include Alaska, Hawaii, and US territories.
  • US Toll-free Number: Phone number that begins with one of the following three-digit codes: 800, 888, 877, 866, 855, 844 or 833.
  • Canada Local Number: A local phone number used to originate calls from Canada.
Note: Phone number charges are pro-rated, so any mid-billing-cycle purchases will appear with a charge that is lower than the standard price. This could result in multiple lines on the invoice that all have the same description, but different quantities and rates. After a full month of service, all numbers will reflect the monthly recurring charge.
