Hi:
iam aiming to give my customers an offer where is the first 10 seconds of the call will be free without charge ,how can i apply that in a2billing?

Thanks in advance;

Use advanced rate tables, set in a2billing.conf, then you can use stepped billing.

Grace period can be given on a per destination basis. To do so
-First, edit a2billing.conf, set advanced_mode=YES

-in admin:In rates menu :Select ratecard in which u want to select the rate to give grace->here, Select prefix on which u want to give grace
Then, in
stepchargea =0.00001
chargea=0
timechargea=10

Now, all calls of customers which blong to the ratecard mentioned above and matcinhg this destionation will not be billed for first 10 seconds. also note, that 0.00001 has no effect on your billing of customers. its just to satisfy the condition (if $stepcharge!=0){.....} in billing engine.

cheers!

The way I was able to get it going is by the following:

stepchargea =0
chargea=0.0001
timechargea=10

The code seems to want both chargea and timechargea not 0.
