Good Morning Everyone,
I work on the Bell Canada sip trunking product, and I want to use Freeswitch as my PBX to validate features on the product, and also put out sample configurations to anyone that wants to use freeswitch as a pbx with the service.
I'm fairly new to freeswitch and so far I'm very impressed with it, I need some help in order to tweak the dialplan to do Assisted transfers and blind transfers using the REFER method.
I've seen that you can use the deflect app in order to use the REFER method, but I have not been able to figure out how to include that in the dialplan for an on going call.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Callum,
Sure, always welcome ;)!
Regarding checking how to use/integrate with your own mechanisms, I would suggest taking a look on the two tutorials we have published a while ago since they are more up to date with latest features we got in (online CDRs, fraud detection/automatic mitigation, RPC server, various way to control balances and so on).
Here is the link towards the tutorials: http://cgrates.readthedocs.org/en/latest/tut_freeswitch.html
On the other hand if you want to go with your own development, let me know your particular questions and I can happily share out of what we have learned on the way ;).

Haha yeah, had a few run-ins with x-on in the past, fun times :P
Let us know how you get on - and feel free to join in on the Friday conference call, there's always people there happy to give their two cents.

Also thanks for your response Cal, the self build would indeed be my preferred choice. In all honesty i'm mailing for my own interest at this time so i should probably have remembered to send from my personal address.. Highly amused by "X-on finally realized their systems need upgrading huh? ;)" - have you dealt with my employer before?! X-on are, of course, always upgrading our systems.

I spent some time researching this after I found FS, and quickly came to the conclusion that building our own was pretty much the best way forward if you want full control. There are tons of options out there, the only one that even came close to what we wanted was ITSPtec, and even that wasn't very good.
If you have a talented team of in-house programmers, then build your own and be prepared to spend 6 months minimum before you have anything close to a working beta. There are several ways you can do this, but seriously this is not a small task and there are an unbelievable amount of things to take into consideration.
If you want something out of the door quickly, review the features/pros/cons of each available solution and decide which one best fits your needs.

I'm having a good look at the products listed on the wiki page http://wiki.freeswitch.org/wiki/Billing_Solutions of which ASTPP looks the best so far but i'm not finding answers in the documentation so i'm reaching out to the community for peoples experience.
Thanks again

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"/>

I have been looking at some options for handling pre and post pay billing operations and wanted to ask the community for any feedback they might have.
The obvious starting choice would be mod_nibblebill however i am unclear about the maturity of this module and its flexibility with ever changing rates and destinations, although I could probably work around it if stable. Part of me also wonders if inclusion of billing in heartbeat events is going to affect performance at peak times.
Another option being considered is the following and i'd be keen to hear from anyone with experience of this software:
http://portaone.com/portabilling/
It offers complete pre and post pay billing solution via radius, sounds like a clean and simple implementation but i'm struggling to anyone who has used it for a realistic review!
Thanks,
Callum

Hey Georges, as far as I know it isn't possible to pass through the refer towards your SBC for an ongoing call if that is what you mean (put freeswitch out of the signalling path). I'm looking into it myself, so if there is a solution for this present in Freeswitch, I'm also interested. I once found a variable to optimize the signalling, but I never looked deeper into it to see what it exactly does. Else, I'll have to look into it in the future and implement a patch, which will hopefully get accepted then :).
