Do I need to do anything before an upgrade from Account Manager to X Series?
No changes need to be made as the upgrade will be a seamless process. Your 8x8 services will function and be available as normal.
How do I review my usage?
All SIP Trunk CDRs will appear in your monthly bill together with their costs like other X Series services.
When do usage minutes begin?
Usage minutes begin at the moment the call is answered. This answer from a technical perspective is a SIP 200 OK. A simple SIP call flow that determins a 200 OK is shown in the diagram below:
To summarize the above scenario:
- Usage billing starts when the call is answered (200 OK).
- 8x8 rounds to the highest minute. If a call is a length of 1 second, a standard rounding to 1 minute will be billed.
- Noting: Billing usage begins when the called number answers, this may be any application or person that answers and a 200 OK is sent.

- See Claim Phone Numbers in 8x8 Admin Console.
- After the number has been claimed in Admin Console, create a case with 8x8 Technical Support who can then assign it to your X Series SIP Trunk.
