Title: Direct carrier billing
Post by: ntnewbies on July 11, 2017, 10:19:15 PM

Hi friends,
How to integrate direct carrier billing option in nettalk developed app?
Or is there any easier payment option for monthly subscription which will auto deduct from the members phone
without the members key in their credit card/debit card details.

Hi Jason,

I imagine that is very dependent on the carrier and what API options they offer. Do some research with them to see what they can offer, and if they have an API for you to talk to.

Hi Bruce
the service provider giving either using json files or SMS API that  requires a web-server where we could host our program (for example as a PHP-script). Interaction between their server and our script will be conducted with HTTP GET requests.
Thus, any examples that i should refer to for this case.

This is fairly easy to do, basically you set up an API server, and then you interact with them, and they interact with you, through that server.

I guess the regular API server example is a good starting place.

In NetTalk 10 I have a similar setup with the Twilio API, so I guess that will make a tighter example, but that'll only be available once NT 10 ships.

Hi Bruce,
Does Twilio allows carrier billing? I need to charge my customers on a monthly basis via carrier billing.
