the way i see it can be done.. is using ${CDR(billsec)}  into a dial plan or your AGI, A2billing is a script that runs and waits till the call ends then exists with status 0. it doesn't listen to AMI (as i expect) it pulls the variables after the channel is hungup and then does the calculation

(Caution-top posting. Delete Before Reading if that's a problem for you.) As I see it, real-time billing is only necessary if you have multiple people making simultaneous calls against a prepaid balance or limited credit limit. In other situations, you can simply make a determination at
