This parameter allows you to specify which version you want to use. The function returns information for the most recent version of the rate plan if this parameter is not present. |

(Optional) Specifies the number of response pages to return. This value defaults to 1. See Pagination. |
pageSize | (Optional) Specifies the number of records returned in each response page. The maximum value is 50. The value defaults to 50. See Pagination. |
Response Parameters
The function returns an array of zones, where each zone contains an array of devices. For each device, there are total usage numbers for the requested usage types. A device may have usage in more than one zone and, as a result, may appear multiple times in the response.
