[Asterisk-biz] Call Market update & DIDs

[Alistair Cunningham]

Andres,

This seems a sensible way to do it, but I've received some emails from 
other people off list who have other completely different ways of doing 
it that are sensible as well.

For version 0.5, billing details are going to be a text field that you 
put in whatever you like. It won't be searchable, but will be shown in 
the results of searches. If we can get a consensus out of that, I'll add 
searchable fields in a later version.
