Really? <br>Yes, Specially when your service is metered, I don't know how some once justify good enough billing. Dealing with 500 customer calling every day for billing inquiries can turn out to be much more expensive then all other expenses. <br>

By the way, there are, of course mitigating strategies to minimise risk.<br>
Dialog-stateful modules can end the dialog after a certain timeout,<br>
you can send periodic re-invites with an SDP offer to probe the<br>
endpoints, etc.<br>
<br>
It is far wiser than introducing a point of failure, a source of<br>
latency, and a source of huge bandwidth and processing cost into the<br>
call path when you don't need it.<br>
