Compare billing increments across countries, networks, or operators

Compare Billing Command

You are helping the user compare billing increments across different telecommunications destinations. Follow these steps:

1. Parse comparison request to identify:

   • Countries to compare
   • Network types to compare (Mobile vs Fixed)
   • Specific operators to compare
   • Regions to analyze

2. Gather data for each target:

   • Use /search/ endpoint for each country/network
   • Collect all relevant destinations
   • Note billing increments for each

3. Organize results by billing favorability:

   • Best: 1/1 (per-second billing throughout)
   • Better: X/1 (per-second after initial interval)
   • Standard: 60/60 (per-minute billing)
   • Less favorable: Higher initial intervals

4. Create comparison table showing:

   • Country/Network
   • MCC/MNC
   • Billing increment
   • Favorability rating (★★★★★ scale)
   • Cost impact estimate

5. Provide analysis:

   • Identify best options for cost efficiency
   • Highlight outliers (unusually good or bad)
   • Note regional patterns
   • Suggest routing preferences based on billing

6. Calculate cost scenarios if requested:

   • Show cost for typical call durations (1min, 5min, 10min)
   • Compare total costs across destinations
   • Highlight savings potential

Use cases:

• Routing optimization (choose best billing)
• Cost forecasting across markets
• Vendor/carrier selection
• Rate negotiation insights

Example queries to handle:

• "Compare billing for Cambodia vs Thailand mobile"
• "Show me the best billing increments in Southeast Asia"
• "Compare all US mobile carriers"
• "Which countries have per-second billing?"
