Abstract

The present invention proposes a telephone charge status meter (1) which operates independently of the telephone company's timer and on the display (3) of which the charges appear directly in the relevant currency, in which the charge for a current telephone call or the total charge status can be displayed as desired. The various regional charge rates are selected by pressing a button (6) which immediately starts the device. The microprocessor (7) is programmed via a keyboard (5, 5').
