[Asterisk-Users] Which free calling card app most suited forcommercial use?

[Kanuri, Seshu (Company IT)]

My opinion is that both are Crap. Both of them have a flaw in their base
design, which is difficult to explain in a post like this. Suffice to
say that these two applications neither support nor designed for mutilpe
routes ( multiple Area codes with Destination groups) nor multiple rate
plans(Provider rates or buying rates and selling rates) nor multiple
business models(retail, wholesale, corporate customers)

Hence both of them cannot be the base for a commercial grade billing
system for a Calling card Model. These apps canot be used for a realtime
call control using CPD (Call Progress Detection) and Prepaid amounts for
a post-paid Billing and call disconnect. Without this very essential
feature for a commercial Calling card billing application, you would be
better off calculating the calls from the Master.csv file for a post
paid bill management.

AreskiCC is a little more thought-driven and hence can be improved upon.


If anyone is interested in developing a full fledged billing system, I
have created a deisgn document ( a very elaborate rough draft infact)
which I can share with you.

I'm working on an * billing system, and instead of reinventing the wheel
I would prefer to use an existing codebase for the calling card portion.
The two that look most promising are astcc and the * prepaid billing
application that uses postgresql.

Any comments?
