Subject: [Serusers] call log and accounting for forwarded and referred

When a SIP call is blind-transferred with REFER
and forwarded with "302
moved temporarily", UA would start a brand new call. The problem is how
to
log and account for their calls. For example, A
calls B, B sends 302
and
uses C's number as contact. The new call is
made from A to C. The call

The issue is that A has no choice to be forwarded or not. When a 302 is
received by A, there is no option for A to continue or reject the call. In
this example, B (an IP phone) sets his phone forwarding to C which is a long
distance number. A is from PSTN. When A makes a call to B, B sends 302 to
the PSTN gateway. The gateway forwards the call to ser which routes it back
to C via the PSTN gatway. So in ser's call log, I see a call from A to C.
Apparently I can't charge A or C. Only B is in my domain. But B is not even
in the second call log. In my understanding, if B sets the forward setting
on his phone to a toll number, he should be the one paying the bill.
This also applies even if A is in my domain.

is not A although the call log shows it is A to
C. A has no knowledge
that a
toll call is made when calling B.
richard,
i disagree that in case of 302, b should pay the bill. 302 means "b has
moved to c and it is up to you if you want to try this new uri".
if you want b to pay the bill, then b should configure ser to FORWARD
the call to c, not to REDIRECT a to c.
