Calls to US being billed free , as FLAT_rate


Gagan

Recommended Posts

We are not using ANY Monthly fixed billing for any monthly plan  of kazoo to user.
Only thing we do in kazoo is billing clients for inbound and outbound calls , for which we assign ratedeck to a client.
We add outbound trunks ( number of trunks) based on requirement of client , but again no billing or Flat rate plan is created in kazoo or charged to client.
So, billing is very simple for each client for only calls they make based on rate deck . IF client makes just 1 call, he pays for 1 call , based on rate in ratedeck assigned to him.   Strangely USA Calls are only not being billed as    "account_billing": "per_minute",
 and are instead being billed as "account_billing": "flat_rate"  and thereby not being charged, while in ratedeck , rate is assigned .   
All other countries are being billed correctly with         "account_billing": "per_minute",

 

What is causing Flat_rate  and how to disable it   , change it to 0 minutes free?

Another strange thing  noticed on SOME accounts , if i change OUTBOUND_Trunks from 0 to a value like 2 , calls to USA are billed as Flat_rate , when changing it to 0 , calls are billed as Per_minute..

This is strange behavior... 

Can someone help about this FLAT_rate thing
