<h2>Introduction</h2>
<p>Includes graphical pie charts and a detailed table with complete information
about where you make your calls to: local, national, international,
mobile, etc. Each segment is shown as a percentage of the number of
calls, and again to show how much of the cost is made up of those
types of calls. This quickly enables you to see which calls are
costing you the most, and taking up the most call time.</p>

particular carrier. You may want to see what types of calls are
being routed through that carrier, and in this case you would enter

prefix is '1452'.</p>
