Asterisk CDR with Mongo and NodeJS

After almost hitting my head against the wall trying to get cdr_mongodb not to crash my asterisk 1.8, I gave up and started finding another solution to get this CDRs logged on mongodb. It ( cdr_mongodb ) works great but only with an old mongo-c-driver and probably won’t be updated any soon for asterisk > 1.6.  :(

Not wanting to reinvent the wheel, my first thought was to use an ODBC driver for mongo. Which is a great idea if only such thing existed…

The NANP and Toll Fraud

The North American Numbering Plan (NANP) is a shared telephone numbering scheme used by 19 countries in North America and the Caribbean. All of these countries share country code 1.

In the United States and Canada, telecom regulations are similar (and sensible) enough that you can place a long-distance call to most numbers in country code 1 and expect to pay a reasonable toll. However, many people don’t realize that 17 other countries, many of which have very different telecom regulations, share the NANP. (More information can be found athttp://www.nanpa.com.)

One popular scam using the NANP tries to trick naïve North Americans into calling expensive per-minute toll numbers in a Caribbean country; the callers believe that since they dialed 1-NPA-NXX-XXXX to reach the number, they’ll be paying their standard national long-distance rate for the call. Since the country in question may have regulations that allow for this form of extortion, the caller is ultimately held responsible for the call charges.

The only way to prevent this sort of activity is to block calls to certain area codes (809, for example) and remove the restrictions only on an as-needed basis.
