I concur, thats what the initial setup charge is usually for that you
get billied by calling card companies, the provider gets charged the
moment a signal hits the gateway, hence that has to be passed onto the
customer, else the 30secs start to add up

I understand what you're saying, however, I
disagree with your
suggestion because me (as a PSTN gateway owner) will be charged tolls
based on the INVITE-to-BYE duration from my carriers for completed
calls.
So if I'm only billing durations from ACK to BYE, then :
1) How would I accurately determine which ACK to account against
considering that many ACKs can happen during any call? For instance,
if you get put on hold or a re-INVITE.
2) Why should I give the customer 30 seconds of free platform time
when my carriers bill me toll charges for that period?

Hi Iqbal,
I think the query u gave is not really correct, the INVITES are the
beginning of the sessions, I think we must use the ACKs for a real
accounting of the call.
Just think, if it takes 30 seconds to the callee to hang on, u will
overcharge him.
I just suggest to replace the INVITES by ACKs.
Regards.

put those queries in mysql and it should lookup your acc table

Hi,
So the only concept on how will I account for duration is to
account for INVITE and BYE methods...BTW, where will I put those
queries? Sorry, I'm in a stage of discovering SER.=)
Thanks,

Ryan,
This MySQL query should do the trick. It joins the acc table to
itself. One side grabs INVITE messages and the other side grabs BYE
messages.
NOTE: This will not work if you account for re-INVITE messages
because you will then have multple INVITEs for the same call.
