Hi everyone,
I am looking for a prepaid billing solution for my VoIP. I have
already install SER but it does not support a statefull tracking of
the call, so it is dificult to hang up a call when it has zero credit.
Posting messages on Serusers maillist there are a lot of people
telling me to use Asterisk as the billing "station".
Now i am using Asterisk and all is perfect (sip register, voicemail,
etc) but I have not yet implemented the prepaid billing application.
Someone recomend me to use ASTCC and I install it without problems but
I do not know how to make it work with Asterisk.
Please, could you send me some help or some configurations files.
- Do I have to compile Asterisk with the MYSQL_FRIENDS=1 to support a MySQL?
- Could I use plain text config files if I compile Asterisk with
MYSQL_FRIENDS=1?
- How can I configure extension.conf and sip.conf to use ASTCC?
- How ASTCC control the calls? How does it hang up when they have no credit?
THANK YOU VERY MUCH!!!
Nahuel Ramos.
Thanks Senad, but I am looking for free software.

A "make install" should get it mostly ready to work.

The most recent cvs has app_realtime or something along those lines in it that apparently rules over.

I just installed it 2 days ago and I was looking for a long time to get thes problem solved. Be aware off creating the Mysql database the astcc.cgi script will do. But I disable the create lines in the perl script. The astcc.cgi script will endles wait. Good luck
