These constants specify the charged item method in the charged_item field of the tAcuSSAocSInform extended data structure.
Note: Network providers only use those charged items that are appropriate to the service provider's charging mechanism. Therefore, in some networks, users may or may not receive some of these items or combinations of items. Different networks may give information about the same call in different ways.
