Then tell your billing package that, effective at 5:23pm on October 24, 
the price of a call to Zambia went up 2 cents per minute for bronze-pak 
customers and 1.25 cents per minute for silver and gold customers.  :-)

Call rating is a relatively complex task, traditionally done by people 
over in the business office.  Stuffing rating code into Asterisk is not 
going to be all that useful for all but the most simple applications.  Our 
billing is complex enough that we outsource it to a third-party company, 
and we only handle tens of thousands of calls per month.  -rt
