I'm using a macro such that if a call is forwarded to my mobile, I can choose to accept it or not. This is done with the following Dial command:

Dial(IAX2/voiptalk/44${ARG1:1},15,trM(screen)ow)

and the following macro:

[macro-screen] ; Allow called user to accept/reject the call

exten => s,1,Wait(0.2)
exten => s,2,Read(Accept|loho-support-choose|1)
exten => s,3,GotoIf($[a${Accept} = a1]?6:4) ; 1 = accept, anything else = reject
exten => s,4,Set(MACRO_RESULT=ABORT)
exten => s,5,Playback(connection-timed-out)
exten => s,6,NoOp()


The problem I have, is that the 'billsec' field in the CDR records, only starts ticking if I accept the call, so it isn't including the time that I have answered the call on my mobile, but not actually accepted the call, which means if I reject the call or whatever, then it doesn't log the fact that I have actually spent money making a PSTN phone call...

What I guess I'm looking for is some sort of command to put into my macro to start the 'billsec' counting, does anybody know if such a thing exists, or if there is some other way of getting round this problem?

(I could just use the 'duration' field, but this would include time where it was merely ringing and I'm not actually being charged etc).

Thanks in advance,
Alex Brett
