Overview
The Frequent Numbers report shows a top-ranking list of the numbers that you call, or are called by, most frequently. By highlighting your most frequently-called destinations, the report can help you to determine if private circuits to your commonly-called destinations would be beneficial; it can also help you negotiate call rates with your network provider.

As with all reports produced by TIM Enterprise, each page of the report includes the following information:
- the report's title
- the date and time that the report was generated
- the name of the report, if applicable
The Web format is the most interactive of all formats: all column headers are click-sortable and most graphical and tabular elements can be drilled down into, allowing deeper analysis of your results.
The body of the report contains a table showing a summary of each frequently dialled number or CLI along with their associated destinations. The column headers of the table are described below:
Header | Description |
---|
Dialled number | The telephone number that was dialled |
Location | The location name associated with the dialled number or CLI |
Number of calls | The total number of calls made to each unique dialled number or from each unique CLI |
Total duration | The total time spent on calls to each dialled number or from each CLI, displayed in hh:mm:ss format |
Total cost | The total cost of calls for each unique dialled number |
All dialled numbers, CLIs and locations in the table are shown as hyperlinks; clicking on any of them displays an itemised list of calls to/from each one.
