Our web based Booth Management system is available to all of our customers at no extra charge. The system automatically detects all origins telephone calls are being made from at your Call Shop and offers you a seperate web page for each origin of telephone call. The web site can be accessed at Call Shop - click here You can log on to the site using your existing MAXATEL Phone Account Number and Password. If you do not have a MAXATEL Phone Account, you can sign up on our site.

Using The Call Shop
When you log onto the Call Shop software pages, you should see a list of telephone call origins ( Booths) that have made phone calls over the last three hours. You can return to this page at any time by clicking the Booths Link at the top of all pages. Every page on the site also displays a list of currently detected phone call origins in a box on the left of the page. When you click on a Booth's link, you will reach a Booth page.

The Call Shop Page Has Two Main Sections
The top section here shows the call that is currently in progress. In this example, a call to U.S.A. has been in progress for nearly 16 minutes. The bottom section shows the calls that have been completed from the Booth. The final column shows the charges to your customer for the completed calls.

These charges are calculated according to the configuration settings described later. The total charge for the unpaid calls (NOT including the call in progress) is shown in the green box. In this example, the amount due so far from the customer is $2.81, but this will increase when the U.S.A. call has been completed.

Once the customer has paid you can press the large button at the bottom of the page. This clears the list of calls and resets the balance to $0.00. If you have a fixed public IP address, you can also operate the biller in the Pre-Payment Mode. In this mode you may take a deposit from a customer before they start calling, also they are allowed to call to the value of their deposit. Once they have finished calling, the page will show you the total balance that should be returned to the customer.

Cash Flow Reports at Call Shop
If you log on to the system as an Administrator, reports are available to help you reconcile your cash payments at the end of each day. Click on a date to see a summary of the call costs and customer charges for each phone call (Booth) that has been made to you. An example are shown here.
