Hi Sherwood , well , i think you did not understand my question , i want real time billing like as i mentioned that if i want to dial 5 number with different call rate how can i access same balance into those 5 people, if all are connected how can i periodically update billing , as you suggested it will assign total balance to those 5 people but actually we can not do like this as total balance of user $100 , as per your suggestion it will give $100 for those 5 people which is practically wrong i think.
