Sorry for my english, i want to implement a2billing to control and reduce the phone bill, the idea is to give each employee its own pin number and asign a fix amount to call heach month, i think it is doable and according to the tests ive done i have 90% of it done.

My problem is that i just cant figure out how to bill my domestic calls since they have no prefix, domestic numbers are 7 digits long and can start with any number from 1-9.

national and international are 01 and 001, cell are 044 & 045, toll free 01800, but have no idea of how to solve the domestics

examples 7170570, 7170400, 1450170, 2119554. i also have problem with the numbers my provider offers as services like 030 to hear the hour, 060, for emergency and policy reports etc.

Thanks for your help

What is preventing you from adding entries like '71705', '71704' and '21195' to your ratecard?

What is the problem?

the problem is that the numbers for domestic calls can be any between 1000000 & 7999999, ive tried adding that as the prefix but for some reason the rate is not added and i only got a blank page, i need to deny some users access to long distance, only allow local or domestic calls but if y use defaulprefix they can call everywhere.

Thanks

I'm not too surprised the query to add rates '1000000-7999999' failed. That's a very large number of rates.
As all your other destinations seem to begin with 0 you could add rates like '1','2','3','4','5','6','7' to match your domestic destinations.

thanks stavros thats exactly what i did, now i have another problem, when i hang up the call is not tarified,only when the called party hangs, i have php-pcntl installed but i get warnings like

PHP Warning: PHP Startup: Unable to load dynamic library '/usr/lib/php/modules/pcntl.so' - /usr/lib/php/modules/pcntl.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory in Unknown on line 0

so i supposed it is not working, unfortunately im unable to find a matching version for my php, and im using asterisk 1.4 do you have any suggestion, thankyou very much, im already downloading asterisk 1.2, but im still stuck with the php-pcntl.

It's to solve the problem blackgecko were having that I once thought that it would be a good idea to have a way to enter prefixes looking like asterisk extension patterns (_X. or stuff like that). It will help keep the database lighter than it currently is. I still think that it will be a great addition to a2billing.

You're correct in suggesting that the pcntl extension is not working. You'll likely get exactly the same results with Asterisk v1.2.x until you install a working pctnl extension.

Seeing as the problem is 'file not found' you should try symlinking the file the pctnl package installed to the location PHP is looking for it. I can't help you with finding the path the package installed to; you'll need to consult your package manager's documentation for that. Let's assume it installed it to '/opt/lib/php/modules/pcntl.so', to create the symlink:

pcntl may be built-in at compile time so no .so will exist (dependind on distro). I would suggest a linux re-install. Fedora now has asterisk as a package.
