- International Toll Free Services (ITFS)
- Service Description
The International Toll Free Service allows an End User (as a customer located in Australia) to have a toll free number in an overseas country, with the calls being answered in Australia.
The toll free number dialled in the overseas country is in the toll free format of that country. For example, a number dialled in New Zealand is in the format 0800 XXX XXX, while in Sweden, the number format is 020 XX XXXX. As the toll free number is allocated by different overseas carriers, Your End User will have a different toll free number for each country that they receive ITFS calls from.
From time to time, an overseas carrier will advise Cytrack’s appointed Carrier that it is changing its access number format. Often, this is a case of changing the toll free prefix to include the digits 800. This will mean that Your ITFS number will change in that country. The notice period given to us of these changes varies. Some carriers provide a dual-access period then a recorded announcement for a period, others do not.
- Service Coverage
End Users are able to receive calls from fixed line and mobile networks that originate from networks internationally, based upon the country in which the ITFS is situated. ITFS is provided via the Cytrack’s appointed Carrier Network, which has interconnection arrangements with all major national carriers and many international carriers.
- Service Features
Cytrack’s appointed Carrier will route the ITFS number to Your Answer Point, which may be a standard telephone service, mobile or international service (see Third Country Calling restrictions in paragraph 1.4(e)).
The International Toll Free Service offers the following features:
- web-based reporting;
- customised call barring, for example mobiles, selected callers or certain calling areas; and
- flexible call distribution, including:
- call splaying;
- call overflow;
- time of day routing;
- day of week routing;
- day of year routing; and
- Customised Voice Response (CVR).
- Access Restrictions
In each country, there are various restrictions on access to toll free numbers. For example, calls may not be possible from some types of telephones and certain payphones may require coins to get a dial tone, or there may be charges payable by callers from certain countries. Cytrack will advise You of any known restrictions for the country in question.
- Third Country Calling
Third Country Calling refers to an inbound international toll free call terminating back out of Australia into a third country.
Several international carriers do not allow Third Country Calling on numbers originating in their country. Some require you to sign a form declaring that you understand this restriction. Cytrack’s appointed Carrier will advise you of countries with this restriction and supply the relevant declaration form to you.
- Service Description
- Additional Features
The following features apply to all Cytrack’s appointed Carrier Reach Voice Services.
- Network Connectivity
Where Answer Points for the Service are not directly connected to the Cytrack’s appointed Carrier Network, the call is handed to the relevant carrier for termination.
- Reach Call Plan Manager
Reach Call Plan Manager (RCPM) is a feature of Cytrack’s appointed Carrier Reach Voice Services that allows You to remotely specify and configure the routing of inbound calls from Your End User’s services to the Answer Points of their choice.
RCPM provides IP access over the Internet to Cytrack’s appointed Carrier’s advanced calling services (ACS) server. ACS is a management application with a graphical interface that allows Inbound Service Numbers to be designed and modified in addition to enabling calls to be routed to specified Answer Points.
Two types of RCPM are available:
- Standard Reach Call Plan Manager
Standard RCPM allows You to modify the variable data associated with a Call Plan, but the structure of that Call Plan may not be changed. The most frequent modifications include making changes to:
- Answer Points;
- the day of the week routing;
- the time of the day routing;
- geographical routing; and
- RCPM passwords.
Where a particular modification cannot be performed using Standard RCPM (e.g. the addition of a new Answer Point to a Call Plan) then Cytrack’s appointed Carrier can perform the modification on Your behalf. In such cases, standard SLAs and modification charges will apply.
- Advanced Reach Call Plan Manager
Advanced RCPM provides all the features of Standard RCPM, but in addition allows You to design and build Your own Call Plans, add new routing options and add new Answer Points.
- Standard Reach Call Plan Manager
- Customised Voice Response
Customised Voice Response allows a caller, after being prompted by a pre- recorded voice message, to select from a number of options using his or her telephone key pad. The caller is then directed to the appropriate Answer Point.
- Extension Call Allocation
Extension call allocation is a feature available in conjunction with CVR that allows callers to dial an extension number (of less than 6 digits) within a specified extension range. The call is directed to the nominated Answer Point based on the extension entered.
- CDR Feed
- Cytrack’s appointed Carrier will use reasonable endeavours to provide You with a call detail record (CDR) feed which shows details of each call made over the Service. Each CDR feed will include the Inbound Service Number, ‘A’ party calling number (masked for privacy reasons), the Answer Point and the call duration.
- Cytrack’s appointed Carrier shall determine, in its sole discretion, the format of the CDR feed and may amend the format of CDR feed from time to time.

You acknowledge that this is a reasonable estimate of the loss Cytrack’s appointed Carrier will suffer in the event that supply of the Individual Service is discontinued prior to expiry of the Initial Period for that Individual Service.
- If supply of an Individual Service is discontinued prior to expiry of the Initial Period for that Individual Service, other than pursuant to clause 13.5 or clause 11.5 (as applicable) of the Services Agreement, Cytrack may invoice You for the amount calculated in accordance with clause 3 of this Service Schedule.

If You fail to pay such amount within this period, You will pay interest on the outstanding amount at the Interest Rate, which shall accrue daily from the due date for payment until the actual date of payment.
