Presently, 3 brand new parameters - billing, mcc and mnc, are passed over to services implemented on sms:transit basis. The first parameter represents the type of billing which processing the message, and determines whether the service should be immediately provided or needs payment conformation from additional processor. Previously, instructions contained written list of countries, which was inconvenient for automation process. The other two parameters represent international mobile codes of the country and of the carrier, and this is one more step towards international standards. Both of the parameters are available to vast majority of European countries, and soon will be available to all connected countries. Lists containing the codes could be found on our website under Terminology glossary.

For each and every services, where rates scale are available in XML format, an option of rates scale in JSON format was added. This format can be processed with various programming languages, and its greatest advantage is that JavaScript processing it as an array, which easily allows to generate instructions without reloading the page when you switch countries.
