[Asterisk-Users] Call transfering external calls to external lines
I was just trying to find a better way to transfer incoming calls to external phone numbers without tieing up my lines. The following has worked successfully for me and I just thought I'd post it so if someone was looking to do the same they could quite easily. The feature you need installed on your lines is called conference-drop-transfer or here in canada it's know as 3way-call-transfer. exten => 533,2,Senddtmf,18665582273 exten => 533,3,Wait(2) exten => 533,4,Flash exten => 533,5,Hangup call comes in, caller dials 533 for external support line, asterisk Flashes, sends dtmf to dial out via the incoming channel, waits(2) seconds, Flashes back, hangs up, and the call isn't dropped If you do a show channels in the CLI you will notice that no channels are in use :) In my scenario, because my lines roll-over this feature exists on the lines for no extra cost. -Mamb0K|nG
