Hi<br>
It all depends on your database design.<br>
What you can do is first have a provider's rates table.<br>
It will have the provider name/id, the destination prefix, and price.<br>
So, when you have a full destination number (eg 10 digits), you run a query<br>
where the number contains the provider prefix.<br>
Then you order by prefix length descending and by price ascending..<br>
<br>
It is called least cost routing.<br>

Subject: [asterisk-biz] Algorithms for generating dialing codes and rates?<br>
<br>
Hello,<br>
<br>
is anyone aware of algorithms or software which can generate customer rate<br>
tables with dialing codes and rates from given provider rates - without<br>
having a predefined destination, dialing code table for customers ?<br>
<br>
Inputs:<br>
<br>
- several offers from providers with break-out codes and rates<br>
- parameter: maximum break-out code length<br>
- parameter: profit margin<br>
<br>
Output:<br>
- Customer rate table with breakout codes / destinations and rates<br>
<br>
Anyone?<br>
<br>
TIA<br>
<br>
Gerry<br>
