{% tabs %}
{% tab title="sipgate classic" %}
You can activate or deactivate the rate announcement function for your sipgate account. If this function is activated, you will be informed of the applicable tariff or price for the upcoming call before each outgoing call. This is particularly practical if, for example, you make calls abroad and want to know exactly how they are billed\*\*.\*\*

{% hint style="info" %}
**Important:** This function can only be activated for calls that are not covered by a flat rate.
{% endhint %}

Go to **My Telephony** and then in the left navigation menu to **Telephony**. Here you can, in your personal routing under **Phones** select the phone for which the settings are to be made. First click on the three dots next to the phone. Now select the item **Additional settings**Here you can choose whether you want the **rate announcement**-function.
