Stuart, doing something similar here, wanted to know your cron setup if possible, because each user would have a diff disconnect time, depending on their credit left and destination dialed.
I looked at having variable session timers per user also, but havent had the time to implement it as yet.

Hi Jan,
My solution for disconnecting calls where the customer has run out of credit is to use SER to generate a BYE to the gateway. I use exec_dset and exec_msg from ser.cfg to store in a MySQL table some fields from the INVITE and ACK messages that setup the call. Then I have a process which runs periodically on my server that queries the table to find calls that need to be disconnected and generates, using the SER fifo, a BYE message to the Cisco gateway which disconnects the call. Not very elegant solution but it appears to work and I don't have to handle the media stream. I could also send a BYE to the phone but I don't do that at the moment.
Please could you tell us about how you are solving this problem in production systems? I expect you have a more elegant and professional solution.
Regards
Stuart

I tried this a long time ago with a Cisco gateway. It worked, SER did not let re-INVITEs through and the gateway terminated the call. We are not using it anywhere in production.

I know there was some discussion in the recently about using session-timers as a method for doing prepaid. I'm just wondering if anyone has actually played around with this, and what your experiences were? My PSTN Gateways support session-timers, so I was thinking about trying this.
