BILLING FOR EXISTING YATE SETUP

[murimimukora]

Hello All,

I'm a newbie. We have an existing Yate setup running on Centos 6.7. We want to incorporate billing to the setup. I know Yate has

the capability inbuilt into it. I was hoping to also get suggestions from you on possible solutions out there that can do billing. They can be

open source or proprietary.


Thank you

A quick google search reveals:

collecting cdr information:

billing:

There is no billing module that does all the work.
You need to do the routing and configure yate to record the cdrs (see above). Based on the cdr information you can do the billing, but you need to develope your own software/scripts to do the calculations.

If you use Asterisk as your SIP Server - you could use the Opensource A2Billing as a billing engine
Works well on Asterisk for collecting Call Reports for Post and PrePaid customers
 Great installation guide for A2Billing
