[Spce-user] Billing Plan fallback on missing fee

[Oleg]

Thanks for Your comment. Indeed, I too have to update 10 or 30 Billing 
Plans every time my upstream providers change rates. It's somewhat 
cumbersome to maintain and repeat same fees across all the billing plans 
all the time.

Your idea with CGRates sounds interesting. Any pointers for integration 
between sipwise and cgrates?

Thanks.

Oleg.
