Post subject:  DAHDI as a trunk and charging for nothing

Hi All;

I am using DAHDI to be the trunk, but it is charging even if destination was busy or ringing !!

I looked to the asterisk CLI and I saw:

Called DAHDI/4/009617565116
-- DAHDI/4-1 answered SIP/gwuser1-00000013

So, the problem maybe because DAHDI getting answer maybe from the service provider or something like this.

Any solution to overcome it?

Regards
Bilsl

Hi

If this is an analogue trunk, then they answer - there is nothing to stop this. If its a PRI or BRI, then this would stand more investigation.

The work around is to use stepped billing, and charge nothing for the first x seconds, or use the agi-conf setting to only charge id the call is longer than Y seconds.
