The alerts are saying prepaid subscribers and carriers. 
Are you using prepaid or postpaid?

We don’t use prepaid subscribers so do t know if calls show as in CDR but it’s possible that they may show up with 0 cost as they have already paid for the calls. 

Best Regards
Leighton Brennan

When I make calls from the subscriber, I route the calls through a peer (I would also like to bill peers as well). After the call is complete, when I check the CDR, I see the calls but the cost of the call is always showing 0.00. My problem is how to tie the rate to the subscriber or peer as needed so that the balance on the reseller/subscriber can be reduced based on the calls completed.
