Re: [asterisk-users] differential billing
Hi Abdul-Basit, If you need only different intervals of billing you can easily do it using any AGI as we are doing it in Perl AGIs using post call billing. But if you need realtime billing then the most stable and flexible option is to use FastAGI+ AMI. I have tested it in JAVA and it worked for me up to a load 100 calls. It may work more but I haven't tested it. Asterisk and Billing-Server was running on separate machines. For further help you can call me (as you know my number :P).

Re: [asterisk-users] differential billing
(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 the beginning of the call that it's prepaid or otherwise valid for a given period of time-4 minutes, 17 minutes, 24 hours+ or whatever. Then you can let it go 'til you want to give a 2-minute warning, cut it off or whatever. The actual billing would be after the call is terminated. Not much overhead. --Don Don Kelly PCF Corp People Come First 651 842-1000 888 Don Kell(y) 651 842-1001 fax _ From: asterisk-users-boun...@lists.digium.com [mailto:asterisk-users-boun...@lists.digium.com] On Behalf Of Abdul Basit Sent: Saturday, September 25, 2010 4:43 PM To: Asterisk Users Mailing List - Non-Commercial Discussion Subject: Re: [asterisk-users] differential billing Yes. you are right.

Re: [asterisk-users] differential billing
the way i see it can be done.. is using ${CDR(billsec)} into a dial plan or
your AGI, A2billing is a script that runs and waits till the call ends then
exists with status 0. it doesn't listen to AMI (as i expect) it pulls the
variables after the channel is hungup and then does the calculation something
like
ROUND(${CDR(billsec)}/60) to get FULL MINUTES if calculation in full minute
round for example then do the calculation in mysql when inserting the
sessionbill or let the PHP or AGI script do the math for you.
200 calls won't be a problem with Server that has good resources.
Just give it a try and let me know.

Any idea, suggestion. -- Regards, Abdul Basit | +92 32 1416 4196 Since the CDR records the call duration in seconds, this should be a relative "no-brainer", assuming you are billing post-call. If you are wanting to generate the charges during the live calls, AMI would be your best option for getting a running duration of the connection. -- _ -- Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by http://www.api-digital.com -- New to Asterisk?

[asterisk-users] differential billing
Hi All, How can we develop a differential charging setup using asterisk like for 1st min we charge 1 cent, for 2nd min we charge 0.5 cent, for next 30 sec charge @15cent, etc?
