Great, except they only set up that process for one termination provider, not the other one. It also hasn't worked in five years (probably due to M&A and deprecated systems), so whatever it was doing, we're not getting the benefit of anymore.</span></div></div><div class="" data-block="true" data-editor="98vqk" data-offset-key="fno2u-0-0" style="font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; color: rgb(29, 33, 41); font-size: 14px; white-space: pre-wrap; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"><div data-offset-key="fno2u-0-0" class="_1mf _1mj" style="position: relative; direction: ltr; font-family: inherit;"><span data-offset-key="fno2u-0-0" style="font-family: inherit;"><br data-text="true"></span></div></div><div class="" data-block="true" data-editor="98vqk" data-offset-key="5ddj7-0-0" style="font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; color: rgb(29, 33, 41); font-size: 14px; white-space: pre-wrap; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"><div data-offset-key="5ddj7-0-0" class="_1mf _1mj" style="position: relative; direction: ltr; font-family: inherit;"><span data-offset-key="5ddj7-0-0" style="font-family: inherit;">Is anyone keeping CDRs from all providers you connect to? I don't mean CDRs your system generates, but ones they generate. The only reason I could think of is to verify your invoices, but I'm not sure that's a big deal or worth it.</span></div></div><br><div><span name="x"></span><br><br>-----<br>Mike Hammett<br>Intelligent Computing Solutions<br>http://www.ics-il.com<br><br><br><br>Midwest Internet Exchange<br>http://www.midwest-ix.com<br><br><span name="x"></span><br></div></div></body></html>
