SIP to SIP calls with a2billing

clovis1234 · **Joined:** Tue Jan 09, 2007 9:57 am **Posts:** 8

Hello,

Since a2b uses context "a2billing" for a SIP or IAX client to dial-out, my question is:

How can one SIP/IAX client call another SIP/IAX client directly?

For example, 2 accounts are 1234 and 9876

If 1234 calls 9876, a2billing will try to dial out 9876 using the rate cards and as a result, I dont have SIP clients talking to each other directly within the system.

Any hints will be apreciated.

thanks
Clovis

all calls running trougth a2billing agi

Code:

[a2billing]
;exten => _X.,1,Macro(dumpvars)
exten => _X.,1,DeadAGI(a2billing.php|1)
exten => _X.,2,Hangup

in the same context have this:

Code:

exten => _XXXXX,1,GotoIf(${DB_EXISTS(DND/${EXTEN})}?DND-ON,1);If DND entry exists on AstDB it means DND is ON
exten => _XXXXX,n,Dial(SIP/${EXTEN},300,tr) ; DND is OFF, start dialing
exten => _XXXXX,n,Goto(s-${DIALSTATUS},1)
exten =>_s-.,1,Playback(is-curntly-busy)
exten =>_s-.,n,hangup
exten => DND-ON,1,Goto(_s-.,1) ;In this example if DND is ON it will present you Unavailable VoiceMail Message
exten => h,1,hangup

i'm using a DND (dot not disfurb) context from some site from internet y if you request can share with you the macros for this.
I'm using five numbers to my customers.
If anyone can share another way todo this is welcome, and if anyone have the way todo this inside from a2billing agi, with calls with cost and without cost is welcome too

i'have interest on how that can be done.

why so sophisticated, just enable sip calling in a2billing.conf and dial sip friend with 9 1234....

you are refering to this?

Code:

; enable the option to call sip/iax friend for free (values : YES - NO)
sip_iax_friends=NO 
      
; if SIP_IAX_FRIENDS is active, you can define a prefix for the dialed digits to call a pstn number
; values : number
sip_iax_pstn_direct_call_prefix=9

and if is positive the answer, were can define the cost for the call to a sip/iax friend?

Hi

The easiest way to do this is to use the DID functionality, as calls from one customer to another's DID are routed internally.

could you please give us more details about your suggestion?

Hi

Not much to add.

create an account, add a DID to it (real or imaginary), set the DID destination. Get another customer to dial the DID.

Hello,
Better later, then never...

if you set sip_iax_friends=yes, internal voip calls will be handled, for FREE

If you want to bill the internal calls, you need to set a DID, real or imaginary, as Joe just said, and setting the DIS is where you can setup the internal call routing cost.

Hello,
I have the same problem, how to bill SIP --> SIP calls. So following situation: i have configuerd A2B and it's working well for outgoing calls, and the Service numbers connected to the server are working also well. Now we need to bill the sip to sip calls with monthely rate. How can we do this?

1- how can we do this?
2- if the subject obove is the right why, please how can we do this in steps?
3- how the extensions_a2billing.conf should look like?
4- how should the
[a2billing-did]
exten => _X.,1,Goto(a2billing,${EXTEN},1)
exten => _X.,2,Hangup

look like.

5- How can we make the payment as monthely payment (Packege Offer -- and -- Recure Service).

many thanks for any help,
