In some (many?) countries, there are analog lines with reversal polarity as answer supervision. When the called party hangup the polarity back to normal. In this case analog lines are reliable as digital ones from billing point of view. BTW, reversal polarity is not a obsolete technology. Here

Is the CDR table the right table for billing? I did some tests and CDR records billing seconds for calls that where never picked up. Is this a bug in my system or is that the way CDR works? I called out on my X100T card. Best regards, Han Test data Duration 12 seconds 8
