[Freeswitch-users] Billing options

[Avi Marcus]

I ended up writing my own rating system...

It sets the rate before hand, has a channel limit per account, and will
schedule a cutoff when the balance reaches 0.
It's not perfect for pre-bill (when you allow multiple channels and it's
near 0 balance) but it's pretty good and has a full trail in the CDRs (as
long as nothing crashes...)

<action application="log" data="DEBUG Setting user outbound channel
limit to 3."/>
<action application="limit" data="hash outbound 1435 3"/>
<action application="log" data="DEBUG Remaining for 1 channel: 543
minutes - 32597 seconds."/>
<action application="export"
data="nolocal:api_on_answer=sched_transfer +32597 ${uuid}
cutoff_incall"/>
