The actual value used for Charged Item by a VPMN is at their discretion and dependent on the tariff applied.

The use of 'C' within a Content Transaction is for use where none of the other values are more appropriate, e.g. if content is charged by data volume then one of 'V', 'W' or 'X' must be used.

Note that the inter-network accounting charge value ‘I’ is constrained to bilateral interservice agreement (see BA.10).

Note that the value ‘N’ does not correspond to a zero charge, it is only for use to indicate that the call/event was genuinely non chargeable as opposed to zero charged.  When set to ‘N’ there will be no Charge present.
