[Asterisk-Users] Hotel billing in IPSwitchBoard
I am currently working on implementing Hotel Billing in IPSwitchBoard. The idea is that a receptionist in a hotel can just right click an extension button and choose Account; IPS will now calculate the call charges made from that extension and show all calls and charges on a form. The receptionist now has the option to close the account which will reset the account. I will add a table for editing call charges, and there will be a possibility to add a fee for connection charges and also an option to charge calls per xx seconds and to add/subtract a percentage to all calls. I will add a family/key to the asterisk database to indicate if the extension is closed, this way you can stop outgoing calls from being made from a closed extension by checking the dial plan. Please let me know if there are any other features you would like to see in IPSwitchBoard.

RE: [Asterisk-Users] Hotel billing in IPSwitchBoard
This seems to be exactly the application I was looking for :-). Since I'm working on a project where accounting and billing (http and voip traffic) is an issue, I'm glad to read that there will be a solution within a reasonable GUI. While dealing with squid and the great Squid2MYSQL script - used for Accounting and Billing - from Eugene V. Chernyshev [EMAIL PROTECTED], I wasn't shure about the udp traffic. A time based Billing seems to be a good solution. Keep on going with your great work on IPSwitchboard. Guido Hecken I am currently working on implementing Hotel Billing in IPSwitchBoard.

RE: [Asterisk-Users] Hotel billing in IPSwitchBoard
Exactly what I am looking for also. Because we have multiple phones in one villa, I would need the ability to group extensions and produce an overall bill, and I would, of course, need the ability to set the charge rate versus the cost, i.e., the cost is $.02/min, but we might charge $.50/min regardless of destination, a flat fee for all long distance and international. This is so cool.

With call records now searchable hopefully it wouldn't take too much more work to enable. For example, being able to search on extension by date and time or by cli would be very handy.

RE: [Asterisk-Users] Hotel billing in IPSwitchBoard
Now that makes me very excited. I have implemented a pbx in a datacenter for a online stock exchange and they want all calls recorded. I am uncertain how to handle recovery of the calls, though. This would be wonderful.
