I am thinking about adding support to the CIMD2 module for the Tarrif field. This is in Nokias official specifications. It is a field like any others where you can set the tarrif class."Kita B.

What I have in mind is: - Before a message is sent to the SMSC, a script is run by bearerbox. If it returns zero, the message is sent. This is for balance checking - When the SMSC accepts the message, another command is run. Both commands would be specified in the SMSC group of the conf file, and %P, %i, etc are allowed.what do you mean with %P, %i, etc is allowed?Any thoughts?Kannel's scope of function is beyond billing. In other words, billing should be done by software component entities that are *not* part of Kannel. To make it short and simple. It's more or less a religious question if you incorporate billing facilities to Kannels functional scope. Most of us decided not to do this, because billing (in that SMS traffic sense) is not standardized in any way and hence we would implement properietary things, which open source developer don't like :)
As it is in the official specs. I think it would be useful. Are there any objections to me adding support for it?
If not, would the right way be to let the user specify it in the URL for sendsms - tarrif=12 ?
