Hi everybody,

I am new to A2Billing, I am receiving calls from mobile or PSTN numbers, I would like to answer the icomming call an Authanticate the caller through A2Billing if is is success than the call will be bridged to DAHDI/2. here is what I was doing for my extension.conf in asterisk,
[from-pstn]
exten => s,1,Answer()
exten => s,n,Dial(DAHDI/2/${EXTEN},,L(120000))
exten => s,n,Hangup()
I have successfuly installed A2Billing. How do I use DeadAGI using DAHDI?

Best regards,
Abdifatah

Just call A2Billing.php in the normal way, and in your A2Billing trunks set up DAHDI as the technology type and 2 as the channel.

Thanks Jou,

That works fine, one more issue has come, the call duration is not correct, when the customers makes a call the call starts even if the call is not answering yet, if the called hangs up a2billing is charing here is how I intercept the incomming calls an forwarding to a2billing.
[from-pstn]

exten => s,1,Background(Enter-the-number-to-call)
exten => s,n,WaitExten()
exten => _X.,1,Goto(call-a2billing,${EXTEN},1)
exten => _X.,n,Hangup()

[call-a2billing]
; CallingCard application
exten => _X.,1,deadAGI(a2billing.php,1)
exten => _X.,n,Hangup

Please help me for the best way to handle this issue.

Best regards,

Clearly this is the case, you can't play IVR without answering.

Code:

exten => s,1,Background(Enter-the-number-to-call)

Thanks jroper,

I would like to start the timer of the call when the end part of the conversation picks up his phone and end when one of them hangs up the call, how could I do it psl? and tell the user to enter the number they want to call.

Is this a VoIP call, or a calling card system?

Dear joe,

it is calling card. our customers will call one of our pstn lines wich connected to the Digium card,we have 2 pstn lines one of them is cheaper than the other one, so we want to give people those can not get the cheap one using our system.

CUstomers calls line 1 dahdi-1 answers and asks to pub the calling card if it is okey using A2billing the customer will be bridged to dahdi-2 and makes the call, every thing is okey we can make call , but there is duration problem.

you can ask me more detail if you want.
best regards,
Dayib
