I have looked at gazillion ITSP, and studied pricing for various markets that I (my client) is interested in. Look most ITSPs, although they may have a good price for a particular location, they will usually have a price that is 3 or 4 times higher than another provider. I have been taking CDR dumps of the various companies that provide the pricing in that format and pull it down to Excel (might I add that really, really hate using any type of spreadsheet!). I then allow for a search across all of the tables to find the best price for a particular route and plug that in to asterisk.
<br><br>Very, very time consuming at best, and more of than not, a complete PITA. If that the only way to do this, or has someone came up with a simpler way to figure LCR? I know that voicepulse created some agi module that compares their particular rate against a generic rate, and route based upon the lowest cost. Sounds nice in principle, but comparing against a single rate base does not really help when caller wants to call to Timbuktu, and voicepulse evaluation is against the locked rate of $0.02. I am wondering if one can take the start that vp has provided and go that extra step to do true routing based upon destination?
<br><br>Of course, that still doesn't really help finding the routes and putting them in a table that can be consulted on the fly. Or is there? Open to any suggestions or recommendations</blockquote><div><br>there is an effort underway in
<a href="http://astpp.org">astpp.org</a> to handle pricelist LCR, make an A-Z etc, common tasks in a more cohesive manner, it needs work and testing, especially cater ASR, ACD and other params as part of the 'decision' processes, so help/experience is appreciated
