A2billing will do most of what you have outlined. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Craig Lawrence Sent: Friday, 7 September 2007 5:01 PM To: Commercial and Business-Oriented Asterisk Discussion Subject: [asterisk-biz] Calling Card Hybrid
Hi, Here's a challenge for you: - A mining company setting up a mine in outback Australia - 70 rooms for miners accommodation with an IP phone in each - 25 phones in offices in and around the plant - need a system that is similar to a calling card system for the miners - need a standard PBX system for the office workers - both systems should reside in the same server - the PBX should allow miners to call other miners in the accommodation or call to or from office phones to accommodation - miners are not permitted to call outside the internal extensions from their accommodation handsets however if they dial into a calling card extension they should be asked for their PIN number and then be provided with a outbound dial tone. They should also be able to check account balances. - A billing system is required that will permit the mine management to charge for each destination as they choose either as an untimed call or timed. They also need to be able to give the miners a free account balance of say $50 per month as part of the mine employment terms. The credit should expire at the end of the month, at which time it will automatically top-up to say $50. - Miners are to have DIDs for incoming calls in the accommodation with a voicemail system enabled on the phone as a message waiting indicator light (ie not via email) and they should be able to record a greeting, re-record the greeting, etc and dial into and listen to messages, replay and delete messages. - If an office phone was to dial the outside world and transfer the call to a room the miner would avoid payment - the customer is aware of this and accepts this deficiency. - each miner is to be given a "card" with his User Number on it and instructions for usage and voicemail on the reverse. The card will also tell the miner how to log into the system and change their password (default password is to be the digits from his or her birth date eg 21/04/75). This instruction card is to be laminated and handed to the miner when he arrives at the mine. - the management interface should allow the mine administration to delete a miner account, add an account, view each miners account balance, view past calls (and print if needed), add once off call credit (if the miner wants to purchase more call credit), reset a password and view from which extension the calls were made. Would anyone have any suggestion of a product that would do most or all of the above? Thanks Craig Lawrence _______________________________________________ Sign up now for AstriCon 2007!
