Hello;


I am facing a trouble with A2Billing when using analogue lines because the channels are not closing properly when dialing happen through A2Billing (it seems the dialing scenario including the hangup is not handled properly through A2Billing but I do not have control on this). But when I do dialing from asterisk and using analogue lines, I do not face a trouble because I can write the script in the extensions.conf in professional way to confirm that the channel is closed successfully.


Is there alternative Billing solution than A2Billing which has another working mechanism? How I can resolve such problem which is related to the analogue channels?


Regards
Bilal

If you think you have managed to detect the end of a call more successfully
than A2Billing can, I would have thought the logical solution would be to
patch A2Billing to work with your improved teardown detection.

Not really. The problem is inherent to analogue lines; which by definition
cannot carry full supervisory information, as there is no separate D-channel.

Get some form of digital phone line (such as a SIP trunk, or ISDN) installed
instead. You should be able to switch from analogue to ISDN without
terminating your existing telco contract; and the quarterly will be cheaper,
as you are using less of the telco's equipment.
