[OpenSIPS-Users] prepaid with call plan

[Bogdan-Andrei Iancu]

Hi Dani,

never used the call_control module, but if need custom RADIUS 
interaction with RADIUS server, you can directly use the aaa_radius 
module to fire your custom RADIUS requests and to access the replies. See :
       
http://www.opensips.org/html/docs/modules/1.6.x/aaa_radius.html#id249962

Regards,
bogdan
