Why voice billing is its own discipline

Per-minute meters, regulatory fees, and softphone fleets. Generic SaaS billing doesn't cut it.

Per-minute, per-line, per-plan.

Voice bills can have hundreds of line items per customer. Generic billing software either flattens them or breaks.

Compliance at every state line.

911 fees, regulatory pass-throughs, USF charges. Different rules in every jurisdiction. Errors are filing risk.

Toll fraud + reconciliation.

International calling abuse can drain margin in hours. Generic billing software doesn't see the patterns.

Frequently asked

Common questions about voip.

Can Sonar bill per-minute and per-line voice?
Yes. Sonar imports call detail records, rates them against rate decks, applies plan tiers and rollover minutes, and invoices, with multi-jurisdiction tax across US states and Canadian provinces.
Does Sonar handle voice regulatory fees?
Voice billing accounts for the per-jurisdiction reality of 911 fees, USF charges, and regulatory pass-throughs, so invoices stay compliant instead of becoming filing risk.
How does Sonar track phone numbers and porting?
Each line is a record, with plan changes, ports, and ports-out tracked at the line level and full call history visible to support on pickup.
Can Sonar flag toll fraud?
Yes. Reporting includes toll-fraud anomaly detection alongside margin-per-plan and international usage cohorts, so abuse surfaces before it drains margin.
