Summary
Service types provide a means to categorize services within the system and are primarily used for reporting purposes. Examples types could be: Data, Voice, Fee, Device, etc. Service types can also be associated with share plans to define which service types consume or contribute to specific share plans.For additional details or more granular categories.
