Rv: Re: [Serusers] accounting accuracy

[Nhadie]

We are averaging 17000 minutes a month. The gateway provider will give us a
weekly report that has number of minutes per country, it's not detailed per
call.

actually sir i'm more worried if it's a problem on my billing system, am I
using the right fields to extract the data?
