Referring to the device counting the metering pulses sent by the telco company.
Germany's giant telco company probably refers to it as "Gebührenimpulszähleinrichtungsschaltung". :-)

FWIW, 7130 Google hits für Gebührenzähler, and maybe I should explain my remark above to avoid misunderstandings. You said \"in telecom there often is NOT\" - The former Deutsche Bundespost was notorious for their creation of long, funny-sounding technical terms. |

19 mins confidence:   Anrufmessgerät
Explanation:
just a guess, does the metering refer to the call itself or to the duration of call? If the last one applies, then it might even be an "Anrufdauermessgerät"
