[asterisk-users] billsec=0 when using Local channel

[Dan Journo]

Hi,

I've got a dialplan that transfers all outgoing calls to a Local channel before dialling out via SIP.
I did this because sometimes i'm dialling two numbers at the same time and need to know which call is answered for billing purposes.

However, I've just noticed that billsec is always equal to 0 even though i know the calls were answered. I now have to take the cdrs from my provider and recalculate the billsec manually.

Any ideas why Local/ causes billsec to always be zero? Ive seen quite a few bug reports but no resolution.

I'm using 1.4.35.

Thanks
Dan

Thanks to p3guin on #asterisk irc chat for advising me to put /n into the dial command when transferring the local channel.
Works fine now.
