Hello all, I would like to get billing/charging informations of all outgoing calls of any PSTN numbers made with my IP-Phone via asterisk. Can I obtain in * an accurate charge information of outgoing call via CAPI which destination is any PSTN number? Does the ISDN "signal" contain charging informations ? Thank for advice Rastislav
Hello! With 'PSTN' lines - do I understand correctly that you use ISDN lines? If so, I would probably not of much help. Otherwise - I just had a billing problem with an analog line and solved it for our telco. See the thread "Billing (itemized) in the UK" in this months mailing. (But if it is ISDN, I apologize that I can't help so much...)

They are stored in cdr-csv (or a database if you want it there).> Can I obtain in * an accurate charge information of outgoing call via CAPI which > destination is any PSTN number?I think you are referring to AOC (Advice of Charge) and afaik chan_capi does not support that nor does the CDR generation code.> Does the ISDN "signal" contain charging informations ?Depends on your telco but if Asterisk does not support AOC, it will not matter...

Hi Patrick, exactly, i am looking for something like AOC. The CDR offers just billing seconds and this is not enough because additionaly i would need rate-tables to calculate accurate price of the outgoing call. hmm...and is not what i want. Maybe there is a way to catch the billing information from D-channel. Is there any standalone application for linux, which is able to filter these charging informations when the Asterisk can't do that?
