It is a software program installed on an on site computer that will generate reports including by station, line, longest call or even to certain area codes. Attorneys or other professionals who bill for their time on the phone also find this to an extremely useful tool.

Advertising expenses can be tracked by advertising different lines (or DID numbers see T-1 for more info) or by programming account codes for different types of calls.

Reports can be pulled at any time - or for a real time saver the system can be programmed to automatically email the report of your choice at specified times. Foe example a long distance report can be generated on the last day of every month at midnight and email to management or accounting personnel.

Some advantages to T-1 are:

• Only 2 pair circuit. So if facilities in an area are a problem a T-1 can minimize the problem.
• A long distance T-1 can deliver very low cost per minute. Sometimes as low as .02 or .04 per minute.
• A T-1 can also deliver DID trunks. These trunks allow 100's of numbers which can be used as private lines to your employees. So when a 7 digit number is dialed it will ring directly to that employee without going to the receptionist.
• An integrated T-1 can bring lines and some band width to the internet. Such as 8 Lines and 1024 to the internet.
  

PRI T-1

This is a T-1 which delivers up to 23 Lines. The 24th channel is used to deliver data to the telephone system. It will do what a regular T-1 will do but also deliver incomming and outgoing Caller ID.

This type of T-1 can also deliver DNIS. This is dialed number indentification service. The way it is usually used is if different numbers are advertised they can be identified so a company can know which number was dialed.
