Hey all, i was just wondering if its possible to play a prerecorded message on a bridged channel. For example : someone calls in on asterisk and is connected through to an outgoing phonenumber, the person picking up on this outgoing call would first hear something like "this call is coming from the asterisk platform". (No problem if the caller on the incoming line hears this too) I know you could look at the callerid on the phone, but lets suppose it has no display for the sake of it ;) Anyone got some practical advice / examples on this ? Ciao musashi

Really what you want to do is something like this: Answer the incoming call Receive the number to dial Dial the number Play message Connect the two channels> I know you could look at the callerid on the phone, but lets > suppose it has no display for the sake of it ;) > > Anyone got some practical advice / examples on this ?Hmmm, another thought, does the agent interface support this sort of thing. ie, announce details about the call to the agent before the call is patched through??

You can use "Outgoing" to make a call and then put then in a context where you play your message first and then connect the call. musashi@besite.be wrote:>Hey all, > >i was just wondering if its possible to play a prerecorded >message on a bridged channel. > >For example : someone calls in on asterisk and is connected through to an >outgoing phonenumber, the person picking up on this outgoing call would >first hear something like "this call is coming from the >asterisk platform".
