<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">I think that Michel got what we really
need.</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">Currently, our customer base is small..
We can not justify to buy a expensive billing system to manage them. However,
we are aware that if we do not have any kind of more modern billing system
(currently we are doing the billing manually) we can not growth. Resellers
are the way to growh, and we want to have a web site that can interface
with our customers and even our own resellers, with a billing interface
and the possibility to sig up for accounts, check calls, etc.</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">Some voIP providers already offered
us a hosting service, including hosting for billing. But the main problem
is not the setup fee, but the limitations of the service offered. Few of
them make them on spanish (I need them on such as language), and most of
them, do not even offer competitive prices for the traffic. So, I am not
paying only for the "hosting" of the billing, but also I am paying
higher costs for each call...... Also, I can not have my own resellers,
neither customize the web site so it shows my logos and business info to
the people that wants to check their bills, setup accounts, etc.</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">Again, I do not care to pay for a solution
that allows me to fullfill the request mentionated before. Even I do not
mind to host the service elsewhere if I have all the feautures explained.
If some one could me offer a "reselling programs" that
fullfill my requeriments at a reasonable price, please contact me. On
the other hand, if you can develop a solution for my needs, I would
be glad to pay for the services or development needed to do it. </font>

Write one or pay someone (not me) to write one. <br>
/snip/<br>
<br>
Ideally, each VoIP provider would buy or write their own billing system<br>
that did everything they wanted to do. But someone who is interested in<br>
servicing 100 customers or less can't justify the investment.<br>
Outsourcing is also a great idea, but is typically only available to the<br>
largest providers at a reasonable cost. There is a reason why the Nuvios<br>
of the world insist on billing the customer directly. <br>
<br>
We outsource our billing, and have written into our contract to the<br>
outsourcing company the ability to private label sets of the bills for<br>
our wholesale customers.<br>
