[Asterisk-Users] Asterisk Prepaid

[usedcanon]

Hi Steve,

Sounds like more or less what I want. I would be greatful if you could send
me your patch. Just wondering if you play any prompts to the user at all ?
like when the credit is running out etc.

Thanks

Umar.

Hi,

I did this to app_prepaid - you can pass a parameter into Prepaid() -
its looked up in a table to find an "associated" card number - if that
is found then the card number prompt is skipped and the associated
card is used automatically.

I can send a patch if you like (will also include a minor change or
two to have app_prepaid work against CVS.

Steve
