I know several people doing this with the Freeside billing package (see
http://freeside.biz/).  Originally written as an ISP billing platform,
it handles just about any billing situation you can think of, including
month charges, pro-rated months, per minute or block-of-minutes type
billing, etc. as well as some advanced features like account
provisioning, etc.  

(A friend of mine is one of the core developers, so my opinion is
probably somewhat biased... your mileage may vary.)
