[asterisk-users] Asterisk's DANGEROUS Transfer CDR's

[Mindaugas Kezys]

Hello,

For such cases we usually suggest to put 2 boxes in your infrastructure: 

1. Main billing gateway - where all PBX'es are connected (all client's remote PBX'es and your Local PBX)
2. Local PBX - where user's without PBX'es are connected

Then user connects in following way:

User -> Local PBX -> Main GTW -> PSTN

That way you will be save from transfer issue and all your clients will be able to transfer their calls on Local PBX.

Depends how much it could cost you I guess :). If you're not supporting transfers it's a moot point if you are it's a bit more interesting.

Our customer base is residential and small business. They don't want to either pay for or support another a PBX thats what they've come to us for in the first place a lot of the time.
