You can set a TRANSFERCONTEXT. In that context you can try to use
ForkCDR and its companions to get the records right. If you come up with
a setup which acts perfectly no matter the scenario I would be happy to
hear about it.

Note that TRANSFERCONTEXT is not invoked when the phone does a SIP
redirect before the call is answered, AFAIK.

Notice that it's been a long time since I battled with this part of
Asterisk, and I didn't check that I remembered correctly.

This will all be a lot more sane with Channel Event Logging in 1.8.x,
but at that point you need to run mediation before you get CDR's you can
use for billing.
