Fritz!Box fon LCR (with billiger-telefonieren.de)

Description

This page offers an open-source Fritz!Box fon LCR application. This small application is written in C, so it could be run on the Fritz!Box itself, too.
It uses the site billiger-telefonieren.de for determining the newest rates. Currently it works for Germans. It has been tested on the Fritz!Box fon 5050. For more about Fritz!Boxes visit the homepage of AVM.

README

Fritz!Box billiger-telefonieren.de LCR README

This is a least cost routing (LCR) application for the Fritz!Box fon by AVM. It uses the internet site billiger-telefonieren.de for determining the cheapest prefixes for phone rates in Germany. It has been tested for fixed rated calls as well as for mobile phone rates. Usually you are only able to use these prefixes if you have a line by T-Com. For example, if you want to call the number (0201) 123456 and you have the prefix 01013, you would call 01013 0201 123456. In the Fritz!Box fon you can do this automatically. This is what this application does:

determine cheapest rate for fixed and mobile rates
update Fritz!Box prefixes

It has been tested on a Fritz!Box fon 5050, firmware version 12.04.15 and 12.04.31.

To use this programme, either run it from your computer or install it on the Fritz!Box. The easiest way to do this is to put it into the /var/tmp directory. The more elegant way is to put it permanently on the flash file system and to create a /etc/init.d script to run it as a daemon.

Since billiger-telefonieren.de changes its design from time to time, some adjustments to providers.c have to be made!

ideas to implement:

offer a current alternative prefix as well
don't use sockets if the application is running on the fritz box
