I assume you're using digital trunking, and such systems do not provide
an end to end audio path until supervision.  So, without active
assistance from the carrier delivering the calls -- who presumably is
doing the billing themselves, if I read you correctly -- no, you cannot
accomplish this.

If you're doing the billing yourself, how to do it should be obvious.
