System, method, and computer-readable medium for rebilling a carrier bill
A computerized method and system for rebilling a carrier bill is disclosed. The method includes receiving one or more carrier bills for a plurality of mobile phones at a processor, receiving a selection of a ratio for distributing the total fee amongst the plurality of mobile phones from an administrator device at the processor, determining, with the processor, an average cost per mobile phone based on the ratio multiplied by the total fee and divided a total number of mobile phones in the plurality of mobile phones, determining, with the processor, a cost-per-time for each of the plurality of mobile phones based on one minus the ratio multiplied by the usage time of each of the plurality of mobile phones and divided by a total minutes, and determining, with the processor, a total cost for any of the plurality of mobile phones.
1. A computerized method for rebilling a carrier bill, the method comprising:
receiving one or more carrier bills for a plurality of mobile phones at a processor, the one or more carrier bills comprising a usage time for each mobile phone in the plurality of mobile phones and a total fee;
receiving a selection of a ratio for distributing the total fee amongst the plurality of mobile phones from an administrator device at the processor;
determining, with the processor, an average cost per mobile phone based on the ratio multiplied by the total fee and divided by a total number of mobile phones in the plurality of mobile phones;
determining, with the processor, a cost-per-time for each of the plurality of mobile phones based on one minus the ratio multiplied by the usage time of each of the plurality of mobile phones and divided by a total minutes, the total minutes being a sum of each usage time for each mobile phone; and
determining, with the processor, a total cost for any of the plurality of mobile phones based on adding the average cost per mobile phone and the cost-per-time of the corresponding mobile phone of the plurality of mobile phones.
2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising determining a final cost for any of the plurality of mobile phones based on the total cost for the corresponding mobile phone and any non-pooled usage charges for the corresponding mobile phone.
3. The method of claim 2 , further comprising producing a bill based on the final cost for any of the plurality of mobile phones.
4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the usage time comprises at least one of text costs and data plan costs.
5. The method of claim 1 , further comprising receiving the one or more carrier bills through a file transfer.
6. The method of claim 1 , further comprising obtaining the one or more carrier bills through an email.
7. The method of claim 1 , further comprising calculating the usage time.
8. A system for rebilling a carrier bill, the system comprising:
a non-transitory computer-readable medium with a computer program for administering a method of rebilling a carrier bill, the non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising code portions stored therein, the computer-readable medium code portions comprising:
a first executable portion for receiving one or more carrier bills for a plurality of mobile phones, the one or more carrier bills comprising a usage time for each mobile phone in the plurality of mobile phones and a total fee;
a second executable portion for receiving a selection of a ratio for distributing the total fee amongst the plurality of mobile phones from an administrator device;
a third executable portion for determining an average cost per mobile phone based on the ratio multiplied by the total fee and divided by a total number of mobile phones in the plurality of mobile phones;
a fourth executable portion for determining a cost-per-time for each of the plurality of mobile phones based on one minus the ratio multiplied by the usage time of each of the plurality of mobile phones and divided by a total minutes, the total minutes being a sum of each usage time for each mobile phone; and
a fifth executable portion for determining a total cost for any of the plurality of mobile phones based on adding the average cost per mobile phone and the cost-per-time of the corresponding mobile phone of the plurality of mobile phones; and
a processor for executing the code portions.
9. The system of claim 8 , further comprising a sixth executable portion for determining a final cost for any of the plurality of mobile phones based on the total cost for the corresponding mobile phone and any non-pooled usage charges for the corresponding mobile phone.
10. The system of claim 9 , further comprising a seventh executable portion for producing a bill based on the final cost for any of the plurality of mobile phones.
11. The system of claim 8 , wherein the usage time comprises at least one of text costs and data plan costs.
12. The system of claim 8 , wherein the first executable portion is further configured to receive the one or more carrier bills through a file transfer.
13. The system of claim 8 , wherein the first executable portion is further configured to obtain the one or more carrier bills through an email.
14. The system of claim 8 , wherein the first executable portion is further configured to calculate the usage time.
15. A non-transitory computer-readable medium with a computer program for administering a method of rebilling a carrier bill, the non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising code portions stored therein and a processor for executing the code portions, the computer-readable medium code portions comprising:
a first executable portion for receiving a selection of a ratio for distributing a total fee of one or more carrier bills for a plurality of mobile phones amongst the plurality of mobile phones;
a second executable portion for determining an average cost per mobile phone based on the ratio and usage time for the plurality of mobile phones and determining a cost-per-time for each of the plurality of mobile phones based on the ratio and the usage minutes for the plurality of mobile phones; and
a third executable portion for determining a total cost for any of the plurality of mobile phones based on the average cost per mobile phone, cost-per-time of the corresponding mobile phone of the plurality of mobile phones, and a usage amount of the corresponding mobile phone of the plurality of mobile phones.
16. The computer readable medium of claim 15 , further comprising a fourth executable portion for determining a final cost for any of the plurality of mobile phones based on the total cost for the corresponding mobile phone and any usage charges for the corresponding mobile phone.
17. The computer readable medium of claim 16 , further comprising a fifth executable portion for producing a bill based on the final cost for any of the plurality of mobile phones.
18. The computer readable medium of claim 15 , wherein the usage charges comprise at least one of text costs and data plan costs.
