asterisk users - Apr 2005 - Call Files to Terminate a call to the dialplan not directly to a channel

Can I use the .call files to place a call using the dialplan instead of the
channel directly?
 
---
Channel: SIP/19563436274@termprovider
Context: testing
Extension: playsample
Priority: 1
CallerID: Company <8882650946>
WaitTime: 15
---
 
What this does it is calls that number directly via one of our termproviders,
and once connected plays a sample sound to them via the extension playsample in
the testing context. However the CDR's do not show this call properly, as
the call wasn't pushed through the Asterisk dial-plan they don't show
the destination phone number.
 
I also can't compensate if termprovider goes down, we have about 6
termination providers and in my dial plan I have them listed in order of
priority, if the 1st fails for whatever reason, it rolls over to the next
provider.
 
So instead of it initiating a call to a channel, can it do it to an extension?
Probably real easy, but I don't know how.

You can use (at least in asterisk CVS), this:

Channel: Local/1234@from-internal

then in extensions.conf
[from-internal]
exten => 1234,1,Dial(whatever)
exten => 1234,2,Dial(otherprov)

Not testet though ;)
