[Asterisk-Users] Bill seconds

[Americo Sanchez C.]

Hi all,

We've installed Asterisk on a rural development project and we're
testing a prepaid phone service. As far as now we're having terrific
service results but there's a problem with the calls billing at our
local telecom. For instance, a farmer buys a 1 dollar phone card and use
it to dial a USA number, the call should lasts for 60 seconds. Asterisk
is doing a great job finishing the call exactly at 60 seconds. The
problem is that the telecom company billing system adds a two second
delay for each call, so the bill is not for 1 but 2 minutes (they round
fractions up).

We're loosing money and the local telecom doesn't seem to have a
solution for this matter.

Have you experienced something similar? Do you have any idea of how can
we solve this? Is it possible to configure Asterisk so that the system
thinks that a minute has 58 seconds instead of 60?
