What you _can_ do - although it is only slightly less of a pain: you can
have one billing profile, but in the source field, instead of putting "."
put in "^<callerid of subscriber1", then duplicate all (or just some) of
the billing_fees entries using a source of "^callerid of subscriber2" and
so on.

Example, two subscribers, with callerIDs 35313994576 and 35313994577, then
source would be "^35313994576" and "^35313994577"

This will apply different rates to each subscriber from the same billing
profile, at the expense of having a really big billing profile to deal with.

This really breaks though when you are dealing with a subscriber (a trunk
perhaps) which has 100+ possible CallerIDs. Totally unmanageable then.

I have toyed with the idea of hacking rate-o-mat so that it will look for a
rate with source of "un=<username>" (username being the username of the
caller subscriber), and if that exists, then use that rate. This would much
more easily allow having special rates for a specific subscriber regardless
of how many CLI they might present. In fact I think billing based on the
source CLI instead of the actual subscriber is kind of nuts. I have raised
this as an issue on our PRO system, but there seems to be no appetite to
consider any change.

Hope this helps.

otherwise you can't have a real overview of the subscriber of one customer.
