Hi All

How would you go about setting up a system that people would buy a ticket and get an x number of minutes to call majority of land lines around the world going over VOIP.

I have run into it in hostels alot but don't know if its a provider thing or something your would setup yourself.

If you have BB there have a look at 2talk http://www.2talk.co.nz/

I currently use 2talk for my home phone over telstra cable.

Its for our holiday home that I want it for because a few people use it and it would be good to be able to spread the costs over the people that use it.

2talk does pin codes - give the users a pin code. Monitor the calling and oncharge as required. Not exactly a prepaid solution that you probably want.

Have a look here and see if the A2Billing addon for Trixbox might work for you. They talk about links to PayPal and prepaid in this link so could be worth reviewing:

a2billing and Asterisk (or a distro such as trixbox or Elastix) would do everything you need.
