[Asterisk-Users] VOIP - Billing Solutions with Asterisk?
Hello, I was in the same situation about half a year ago when I evaluated the billing systems for our Asterisk setup. Sice I was already putting the cdrs in MySQL and had all the users and extensions there as well, my solution was to develop our own rating engine (jsp - server-side-java- based) and integrate it into our existing portal solution, where we keep all the users, etc. It works really good and allows a real-time view on all the costs, duration, etc of the calls made. All the statistic is neatly displayed in the web-front-end where every user can see all their information. If you are interested in taking a look at our solution, just mail me at roman@fh-offenburg.de and I?ll get you a test account.
