Did you see the patch that someone pointed out in your last conversation? That does exactly that. If you didn't want a patched system you could do it the same as I did (albeit a number of years ago) for call shops. When a person walks in they pay $5 (or whatever at the desk). You update the db and assign them a phone. A second process is connected to Asterisk via the manager for call control. It checks the DB every few seconds, and updates the credit based on how long the person has been talking and the rate to that destination. They can add more money at any time, and the DB value is updated. When they run out of credit the call is killed via the manager. - -- Kind Regards, Matt Riddell Director ___ http://www.venturevoip.com (Great new VoIP end to end solution) http://www.venturevoip.com/news.php (Daily Asterisk News - html) http://www.venturevoip.com/newrssfeed.php (Daily Asterisk News - rss) -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Version: GnuPG v1.4.7 (MingW32) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFIfVTBDQNt8rg0Kp4RAjbLAKCGQjQCFP4dZT7GMjCSomNmUKHlKQCdH+EW Rf8imcVun0O2IMH47zwylfg= =nmoF -END PGP SIGNATURE- ___ -- Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by http://www.api-digital.com -- AstriCon 2008 - September 22 - 25 Phoenix, Arizona Register Now: http://www.astricon.net asterisk-users mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
[asterisk-users] Recharge Dial Limit....?
Here's an interesting challange. I need to implement a calling card application, where I call the Dial() command and pass it (L)imit information. Nothing difficult about that. Except it is a requirement that rather than ending the call when the limit is reached, the user gets the option to recharge their account. Now, since the dial() command will just end the call when the limit has been reached, how could I possibly do this? The only way I can think of is to have another system send Asterisk a SIP reinvite before the call ends, and direct the media somewhere else so that we can drop into a new IVR and let them top off their account. A reinvite would have to go to the remote party too, so that they could listen to music on hold while the caller was topping off their account. It just occurred to me that this may not work. The (L)imit information passed to the Dial application has not changed. The Dial() application would still end the call. Ideas?

Use an AGI, dissect ASTCC or ASTPP AGIs, all the goodies you want are in there.
