Hi all,

I think the only clean way to do prepaid with ser is to use b2bua as third party for billing, the only annoyance is that you have to manage the bandwidth for signaling. Our side, we use B2bua, radius and Jradius for accounting. All the accounting logic is managed thru Jradius.

Regards,

Olivier

I have been working for quite some time on deploying SER as a prepaid system. Currently it is not done yet as there's still quite a number of things to be done. Probably we can share a few ideas down the road.

is SER Dependable for prepaid System ? Anyone using it for prepaid system?

I very much like the SER performance in the test environment. Only drawback(maybe advantage if we provide unlimited plan) ) is stateless operation.

But I want to know anyone using it in realtime prepaid business?

Thanks, JiM

Sure Sam, I am currently developing a script which will check the credit balance of the user from mysql and accordingly rewrite the uri. If the balance is low... it will forward to SEMS announcement.

Like that when SER receives a BYE, the Script should check the destination and total mins and calculate the amount and reduce it from the user credits.

Currently the difficult part is the destination country code. I have stored all the codes in the mysql prefix table. But each country have sub codes for states. For example UK proper is only .02 cents, but mobile is .40 cents We have to differentiate the code properly.

If you have any other suggestions kindly let me know.

Thanks, JiM
