What is A2Billing

A2Billing combined with Asterisk now gives any Telecom company a very good reason to consider the A2Billing Soft-Switch over the traditional offerings for TDM and VoIP Soft-Switches as well as wholesale and IP PBX billing. If you want to launch any of the following services, then A2Billing may be the system for you:
»	Traditional Calling Card services - A2Billing can be configured to provide standard calling card services via traditional "dial through", with PIN or CID authentication.
»	Callback services, A2Billing supports a number of call-back methods including ANI, DID and web based call-backs.
»	VoIP residential services - Customers can be issued with a softphone or hard phone and be billed for calls made via Voice over IP.
»	VoIP wholesale termination - A2Billing and Asterisk can be used as a softswitch to terminate and bill large numbers of VoIP minutes from a number of sources such as resellers and distributors of your services.
»	VoIP termination for Asterisk and FreePBX systems. - With the growth of IP based PBX systems, as well as the asterisk based systems, A2Billing can be used to provide services and VoIP billing to IP PBX resellers and Asterisk system integrators.
»	DID termination and redirection. DID can be redirected to any SIP, IAX or PSTN destination with monthly charges and duration based charges.
Its is fair to say that A2Billing when combined with Asterisk is is now a full featured telecom platform and softswitch providing converged services, with self contained billing (pre or post-paid), reporting and statistics for IP and TDM based voice networks and can be configured to supply a wide range of services, rate calls, prepare and send out invoices, as well as accept payments via a number of payment service providers.
