INTRODUCTION
Auto billing system is now the demand of time in every sector of our regular life. Out of these different sectors this paper mainly focused on telephone billing system. In telephony billing involves gathering data for customer use and the provision of features, calculating costs & invoicing for payment. Normally, telecommunication service providers will also need to focus their attention on understanding customer’s needs & providing higher-quality services. So, providing bill information accurately to subscriber is a big challenge of service provider. Using this software all subscribers will be able to get their monthly bill information by a paper invoice in each month to pay their bill & the subscribers will also be informed their arrear bill if they have. The programming language used to prepare this software was VISUAL BASIC, as it is very easy to manipulate the desired work using this language.
Background:
In Bangladesh, Bangladesh Telephone & Telegraphic Board (BTTB), now Bangladesh Telecommunications Company Limited (BTCL) provides all the subscribers’ information, billing record and bill calculation process. The Bangladesh Telegraph and Telephone (T&T) Department was created under the Ministry of Posts & Telecommunications after the independence of Bangladesh in 1971 to run the telecommunication services on a commercial basis. In 1976, Bangladesh T&T Department was converted into a corporate body. B. In pursuance of an ordinance promulgated by the president on 24 February 1979, the department was restructured into Bangladesh Telephone and Telegraph Board (BTTB) with a mandate to provide basic telecommunication services throughout the country. C. Today 'BTTB' provides land-line telephone services in the urban areas, domestic long distance and international services. In 2004, BTTB forayed in to the mobile telephony market of Bangladesh by launching a separate company called Teletalk.
Objectives:
The main objective of this project work is to prepare
paper invoice for the subscriber. For this work it is necessary to
collect the detailed information of the subscriber to send the
invoice to the subscriber’s address. Another important part of
this work is to collect the rate of call depending on area zone,
calling time and call duration for calculating the bill. To show
the arrear bill in the invoice paper is also of equal importance
so that the subscribers could be able to pay their arrear bill.
Importance:
It is almost impossible to think our daily
life without auto billing system. Everyone has to
pay Electric bill, Gas bill, Telephone bill, Mobile
bill etc. which becomes easy and fast by the grace
of technology. Software is the support of
technology to do this work efficiently. So software
on auto billing system has great importance in
every sector. After some modification this
software can be used in the sector where auto
billing system is implemented. And it will be
accessible by the subscribers also if this software
will be connected with server. In this case it will
be easy for customer to check the billing
information from any place. This will be reliable
also for them.
PROGRAM CODE & SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT
The Subscribers detailed information is another important item for this software so that individual paper invoice can be made. Calculation of bill depends upon the nature of call (Local call, National Wide (NWD) call or International Call (ISD) call).So, it is necessary to know the call charge. After that, the duration of call should be concerned from the raw data. Using this call duration & call charge, bill can be calculated for each call. Peak hour & off peak hour should be considered at the time of bill calculation as the rate of call differs in these periods. In this way after calculating all the call charges for a month, a monthly bill is prepared for the subscribers showing the net amount payable. The call duration is shown as unit for every types of call. So the subscribers could easily be informed, how many unit call they made.
CONCLUSIONS
Finally it can be said that by using this software preparing the monthly bill as paper invoice is more easy and error free. This software is user friendly & protected which provide multidimensional functions. The demand of auto billing system can be fulfilled with the help of this software.
