Bounty Offered for A2Billing equivalent for FreeSWITCH
Hi, I was wondering if anyone is interested in developing a billing application that is on-par with the current functionality offered by A2Billing but for the freeswitch platform. I have attempted to make a calling card app myself using modules like mod_nibblebill and mod_lcr but I am struggling with failover working the way I thought it would work (maybe my ignorance) and also issues with ## to make follow on calls. I know I could simply try and resolve these issues but after looking at A2Billing it seems to offer a lot: http://www.star2billing.com/solutions/call-through/ http://www.star2billing.com/solutions/call-back/ I would like the application to be event socket based (preferably written in Java) and would most likely sit on some other server, leaving freeswitch to do what it does best. I am not sure the kind of bounty I should be offering for this. Please bear in mind this is not a private venture as such but something for all of us to be able to use free of charge. Please let me know if anyone is interested (particularly the core freeswitch team) and how much you would like for it. Cheers Raf
ASTPP already support FreeSwitch. Review the features missing you want to implement. If you decide ASTPP is a viable solution, I would contribute to the bounty. http://www.astpp.org/?q=node/165 -E
Hi, I have taken a look at ASTPP but unfortunately their website seems a little stale, so i'm not sure if it's still worked on/supported. I also had trouble trying to install it. Cheers Raf ________________________________

Hello, The website certainly is a little (maybe more than that) stale. I've been doing a lot of work on the FreeSWITCH calling card support in the last few weeks. Darren Wiebe On 11-01-23 10:14 AM, Rafqat . wrote:

Rafquat, As you know already A2Billing have three high level components. 1. Web Interface Manage the Database ( Customer, Reseller and Administration) 2. Asterisk PHP-AGI for the Call through Service(Calling Card , ANI Authentication etc ..) 3. Python used for the Callback service. I mention one of my earlier posts. You can still use the A2Billing Web Interface ( Customer, Reseller and Administration) for the FreeSWITCH Calling card application... Then developing the Telephony Application 1. Call through service using Lua + A2Billing Database 2. Call Back in FreeSWITCH is very easy to implement, compare to Asterisk Callback implementation. FYI ... http://www.callwithus.com/ initially used Asterisk + A2Billing. Now the back end is FreeSWITCH and Management using A2Billing web interface and database. Hope this will help you.

To process calls on callwithus.com, I use mod_xml_curl to get FS dial plan from web server. PHP running on web server builds dialplan (sequence of "bridge" applications) using a2billing database. CDRs are posted using mod_xml_cdr. There are some enhancements comparing to a2billing, for example, mod_nibblebill is employed to disconnect customer's calls when account balance falls below credit limit.

Sergey, What do you use for the IVR ? LUA? I know there is limitation in Asterisk + A2billing maximum of 200 calls on a box. How may calls can be achieved in the FreeSWITCH solution?

Which IVR? Do you mean calling card prompts? I almost do not use calling card, I provide service to SIP clients. Calling card access numbers are still using asterisk. There is almost no traffic, no worth to me to port them to FS. On Sunday 23 January 2011, Aloysius Lloyd wrote:
