Re: [asterisk-users] Que on A2Billing
Hello All, Stable release of A2Billing has solved most of my problems and so far everything is OK... Right now the only problem I am facing with my SIP clients are: - - Three-way Calling Three-way calling works fine, but when SIP client hangs up the call, the other two channels are still active and talking. - Call Forwarding I created the context for *72, *73, *90, *91, *52, and *53. SIP client can enable and disable but it never works because a2billing.php will time out and hang up the SIP channel. - Voice Mail I created the context for voice mail, but the calls will never go to voice mail because a2billing.php after 60 sec will hang up the channel. No doubt A2Billing is a great software, but the above features are also essential for home SIP users... Anyone can show or share their setup if they have implemented the above features with A2Billing Software.

Re: [asterisk-users] Que on A2Billing
If you do not dial 9 then there will be a conflict between internal extensions and external phone numbers. How would Asterisk determine if you are dialing extension 458 or 458-1234? It cannot. Asterisk would have to wait for a timeout when dialing the extensions. If you force users to always dial 11 digits (1-504-555-1212) for all calls, then you just have to make sure there are no extensions starting with 1 and you won't have problems. This is, of course, for NANPA. If your country uses a different numbering plan then the details will be different, but the idea is the same.

What is the point of line lights on the phone? The lights are so you would know when the KSU is out of lines. With Asterisk if the system is setup right it should never run out of lines to use.

Re: [asterisk-users] Que on A2Billing
Not so. The point of BUTTONS and LIGHTS is for users. Remember them? Press a button to answer a call under a flashing light. Press a button to grab a call on hold under a light flashing at a different rate Press a button to place an external call. Too many more reasons to enumerate.

Is there anyway to modify config some where, so it will do the billing in background when the phone call is hangup. Yes, is possible using the a2billing.conf file in the right way.

Re: [asterisk-users] Que on A2Billing
2486543210 is my SIP-Friend which I created manually and associated with one of the card number. My ATA is registered to Asterisk using the about DID Number. So I want when I call the above number, it should ring on the ATA. When I call from my cell to the above DID, it hits on the Asterisk and I see A2Billing trying to call SIP/2486543210, but it fails because Asterisk says Unable to create channel of type 'SIP' (cause 3 - No route to destination) .

[asterisk-users] Que on A2Billing
Hello All, I got one quick question on A2Billing. Specs: - - A2Billing v1.3 - OS CentOS 4.5 - Asterisk 1.2 - Zaptel 1.2 Did the installation and everything is working as it suppose to... Using the A2Billing documentation, I created the RateCard, SIP Trunks, and SIP Customers. I was also able to login using XLite Dialer and was able to call out to my SIP Trunk also. Now how can I remove the IVR Prompt... Meaning from my XLite dialer I want to dial directly and let A2Billing do the billing part. Right now is something like when I dial any number from XLite, A2Billing script is invoked and it will announce You have XXX amount, please enter the number you wish to call followed by #. And then I have to enter the number again and then the call is initiated... Its kinda annoying to do that every time you want to call. Is there anyway to modify config some where, so it will do the billing in background when the phone call is hangup.
