Hi Guys,

Is there ANY way that I can bypass every authentication and announcement within a2billing.php and do something like this:

exten => s,1,deadAGI(a2billing.php,1234567890,14156667777)

Where 1234567890 is the Account or PIN number and 1-415-666-7777 is the destination number to be dialed?

I have a specific need for this and wondering if a2billing.php can take options like the account number and destination number.

Thanks

Yes, this is straightforward and easy.

Set the accountcode to the A2Billing account number in the first line of the dial-plan,

Then set the extension number in the line that calls a2billing.php, e.g. don't use the "s" extension.

In the agi-conf use_dnid = yes

Thanks for the input Joe. I did understand the second part but not the first part.

For second part use something like:

exten => _x.,deadAGI(a2billing.php,1)

But line line before that should be like what?:

exten => s,1,Dial(SIP/provider/415-444-5555/1234567890) ???? I checked Dial() and can't see an option for Account Code.

I guess what you mention is the same concept as Account Code set in Extension of FreePBX but I am not familiar with the code how they do it. Can you please help out with that first part.

Thanks

Got it working. Thanks for the leads Joe.

For others reference:

[a2billing-advance]
exten => s,1,answer
exten => s,n,playback(enter-prepaid)
exten => s,n,Read(pin_Numb,,10)
exten => s,n,playback(prepaid-enter-dest)
exten => s,n,Read(dest_Numb,,11)
exten => s,n,Set(CDR(accountcode)=${pin_Numb})
exten => s,n,NoOp(CDR(accountcode))
exten => s,n,Goto(${dest_Numb},1)
exten => _X.,1,deadAGI(a2billing.php,2)
exten => _X.,n,Hangup

That works just fine but I noticed I am loosing all other capabilities like announcing the balance and that route is not available.

I want to keep this in Asterisk dialplan context because I want to use GROUP and GROUP_COUNT to limit the number of channels of a trunk and to echo Music on Hold while the limit is reached.

I guess I will do some more coding and retrieve balance and use SayDigit....

Any wiser method to this?
