<h2>Introduction</h2>
<img class="screenshot" src="http://www.tri-line.com/common/img/documentation/tim_plus/frequent_numbers.png" alt="Frequent numbers" />
<p>Frequent numbers report shows a top-ranking list of the most frequent outgoing calls. Use
this information to decide, for example, whether you need to invest in
private wires to common destinations such as your other offices or
branches.</p>
<p>This report also helps in making decisions about which telecom
carrier you should use to various call destinations. Partial telephone
numbers can be specified so as to narrow your search down to very
specific information, e.g. London numbers only.</p>
