Hello Rosario -
Yes Radiator can be used in a prepaid environment.
This topic has been discussed many times on the Radiator mailing list:
www.open.com.au/archives/radiator
And you will find an example configuration file in "goodies/prepaid.cfg".
Basically you will need to keep your user records in an SQL database so you can keep track of the time left for each user.
Note that your wireless access points will need to generate radius accounting records and they will also need to honour the radius attribute "Session-Timeout ...".
regards
Hugh

NB: have you included a copy of your configuration file (no secrets),
together with a trace 4 debug showing what is happening?
