Once the pin is verified issue a ResetCDR (http://www.voip-info.org/ 
wiki-Asterisk+cmd+ResetCDR) command. This would nullify the time the  
user spent entering the pin code and make them pay less. Still they  
would pay if the call never connects on the target, since it is  
already connected inbound. You could also try ForkCDR and take a look  
if the 2nd CDR has billsecs if it doenst connect to the target, then  
you would able to filter these calls out as well and dont charge the  
customer for a non-target-connecting call.
