[Freeswitch-users] Problem in geting call duration

By and large, you can't.  There's no forward audio path established 
until the call's answered.

You'll need to answer the call before the user enters the destination 
number.  We do something similar (but not in Javascript..) - we get two 
XML CDRs for each call, one for the inbound leg and one for the 
outbound.  Set a variable on the outbound leg with the caller's user ID 
in your system; you can then link the CDR for the outbound call back to 
the user and bill them.
