Usage Class Types are configured in Setup / Usage Rating / Rate Types / Class Type
Overview
Class types are optional elements that allow you to categorize classes for reporting or mediation purposes. For example you may wish to categorize SMS classes by whether they are mobile originating or mobile terminating, or categorize voice related classes by whether they are on-net, off-net, land line, mobile, VoIP, etc.
