No so. We only charge if the INVITE has a matching BYE, which means
that the other end when off hook or went to voice mail or was call
forwarded to another number.
In any event, a CANCEL would not be billable because of the 486 reply
that was accounted for.

Hi Paul,
Well, in this case, I must agree, in my case I am charged only from the
ACKs, I use B2bua for accounting, but I have no diffrence between ACC
standard table, Radacct(radius accounting) and my pstn provider, that's why
I use ACKs and not Invites.
In your case, you will charge the caller even if the callee is away and even
if the caller decides to cancel the call before the callee answers.
What's the meaning of life ;)

Olivier

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.
