[Freeswitch-users] Canceling sched_hangup and UUID lookup

Sat Jan 3 01:48:20 MSK 2015

Well, if you don't have a lot of traffic, you can just use nibblebill as
suggested. You can just use account balances * 100 if you can't use floats
or decimals.

Else, you need to use ESL and keep track of all calls, store states
somewhere like a db, so that when you need to change timeouts you know
which ones to change.

But again, if you don't have too much traffic, you might look into
nibblebill,  I used it some time ago and it works ok with small traffic.
