[cisco-voip] Outbound Call parameters?

[Madziarczyk, Jonathan]

Oooo interesting ideas, I will have to play with them.

 

Thanks!

With a little effort, you should be able to write a script that parses
CDR records every X minutes and calculates based on route
pattern/gateway the total number of long distance minutes used. It won't
be live, but you can at least get an email message when you are getting
close.

	Maybe some type of TCL IVR script that kept a record of time
used.

	 

	You could use the TCL script to prefix numbers to a call and
match them on the pots dial peers to go out the correct PRI

	 

	Not that I would use this but just thinking if its possible.

	 

	The call could be answered by the TCL, Time variable checked,
decide what PRI to use prefix the number and dial again.

	 

	sounds feasible?

	I don't think there is anything in CM to do this.  with some
time and a lot of energy you could look through CDRs and try and route
calls based on past calling patterns....... But that is not my idea of a
good time.

down and circular...neither of which seem to do what I want....

		 

		We have a new PRI in the mix that gives us a set number
of free local minutes (36,000).  But the minutes after that are at a
slightly higher rate.  Is there a way to get CUCM to best utilize the
new PRI and it's free minutes?

		 

		I don't think there's a way to tell CUCM to "use the
first 36,000 minutes on PRI A then start using PRI B.

		 

		There doesn't appear to be a way to even set ratios for
gateways.  Like a 2:3 ratio for PRI A and PRI B, respectively.  In
theory if this ratio was similar to my amount of free minutes vs. total
minutes I would, over time come fairly close to using all the free
minutes and as few of the "after free, more expensive" minutes.

		 

		Am I missing something, or is this just a limitation of
CUCM?

		 

		Even if I have to send all calls to the new PRI I will
still save money in the long run, but wasting money is still wasting
money.
