A simple AGI script would be able to handle that easily, I would think. 
Or am I missing something in the details?

 in, that would be 
 really nice.

 I know you said this is not much help, but trust me.. it is. It's in the 
 right direction atleast.

 ARI really only let people check their voicemail via a web interface -
 for CDR's you can install areske cdr interface as that bolts on to vanilla
 asterisk with a small amount of work.

 Recordings - how complicated an interface do you need? From memory
 there's something in the contribs folder that can help you out.

 With regards to call forwarding - that's a bit more tricky. You need an
 interface than can affect your dialplan.

 I know that's not a lot of help, but I'm trying to break it down into
 chunks, and then cross off the easy chunks first (or the hard ones,
 depending on your preference and the priority of the chunks)

 later,

 Hi,



 I?m looking for a GUI like ARI by LittleJohn Consulting (which is not
 being maintained actively anymore, but FreePBX seems to include it) so
 users can login, check cdrs, recordings, call forward, etc.



 Does anyone know of any such working app that can be integrated into
 vanilla asterisk?



 Thanks,

 Mark

 Hi All

 I am a premium IVR content service provider thats runs on premium rate 
 lines, my setup (currently on PRIs) is like customer dials the short code 
 (premium number) which gets forwarded on the PRIs  to my IVR. In the 
 normal world the customer is charged immediately the call is answered by 
 the IVR. On operator's new requirement - he wants me to design the IVR in 
 such a way that a customer will call on a number (Toll Free/Premium Rate) 
 but the billing will start only if his MSISDN is present on a database 
 that he will give it to me...Is this sort of differential charging on a 
 single call possible in Asterisk ? If yes how and what additional 
 parameters do i need to get from him

 Please assist

 Thanks

 I think i wasnt clear here - It'll be either a premium rate line/toll free 
 line but the customer should be charged Rs.6/- per minute only when he hears 
 a prompt(where it'll ask him to press 1 to continue) once he presses 1 to 
 accept the terms . Till the time he hears only the prompt the asterisk box 
 should not send the reversal to the billing switch.. only after pressing 1 
 should the charging begin...I hope am clear now

I assume you're using digital trunking, and such systems do not provide
an end to end audio path until supervision.  So, without active
assistance from the carrier delivering the calls -- who presumably is
doing the billing themselves, if I read you correctly -- no, you cannot
accomplish this.

If you're doing the billing yourself, how to do it should be obvious.
