Re: [SR-Users] Prepaid billing solution for a service provider

Prepaid is very simple task. User must put some money in his account. User selects target. You calculate how long could be the call, and you dial target. At the end of call - you calculate call, and you take money from user. Complications - recharging account. There are lot of problems there, mainly with security. If you would like to allow your users to make more then 1 simultaneous call. There are couple of things, you should decide: 1. If you plane to offer some specific solution - then you should select opensource project, or you even should start from scratch. 2. You can look for problems with different solutions on market. "How I can choose the right solution" - mission impossible - in all cases you will see later that there is may be some better solutions. Best you can do is to select more or less good solution which will do job you need. Commercial products, in theory have better support. But they rely on provider. As you see with Kamailio - free products can rely on provider and community, and you can get paid support, you also can easily (more or less) switch supporter. There are hosting solutions also, but I have no experience with them at all. My main experience is with freelance support for Asterisk through ssh, and this is why I cant help with freeswitch. Best advantage of Asterisk (except I know it better) is it allows any language for AGI scripts, and with them you can do everything.
