Re: [asterisk-biz] Open source Asterisk billing solution

Dear community,

We were using A2billing and found really complicated to use. We now moved to YBS billing  www.yo.co.ug
It's really simple to use yet very flexible such as setting up plans and packages for end users. Also i am impressed with it's quick provisioning ability.

Second that. From what I've seen of other billing systems they range
from bad to truly horrible. A2billing is the only solution I've seen
which gets even close to something I can depend on (or rather easily
modify to my needs).

Unfortunately, having said that, A2billing is very complicated and to
fit my needs I will need to modify it heavily. For example its handling
of DID's is so complicated that I will probably bypass it completely
and write my own AGI to handle incoming calls. Same goes for voicemail
support (or rather lack thereof in current stable version of
A2Billing). Personally I believe that keeping the customer interface as
stupidified as possible is the best way to go. Your users are not going
to know what a DID or a CID group is - they just want a simple phone
number that works. Unfortunately none of the open source projects out
there is at a fit-for-the-masses level yet, at least not without doing
massive amount of work to customize it.

What I *did* like about A2Billing though is that it's written in PHP
and easily modifiable. It provides a good base to build and customize
on, and the rating engine seems to be doing its job reliably.

(As far as Freeside goes- I have NOT tested it. But it appears like
it's seriously lacking proper documentation, which is why I stayed away
from it personally. It could be a great platform though - don't know.)
