My user wants to be able to dial a code plus a phone number to start diverting all calls to the given extension to that number. Call forwarding would then be disabled by dialling a code number again. I expected that * would support this type of feature natively, but can't find anything in the wiki. If responding please let me know if we need to enable anything in features.conf as well.

chan_zap supports this. VoIP devices handles it in the device, not in the channel driver. Damian Funnell wrote:> Any takers?

As far as I know Asterisk does not support normal PSTN type call forwarding. I.E. the user would type *72 etc. This is called call forking. My Mulitech gateway does but at a huge price. Also T38 is supported. I have several carriers that I use that have Asterisk. All of the Asterisk boxs won't accept call fowarding. I send the calls to my carriers with Cisco gateways and the calls reroute correctly. Now I have a proxie that controls everything. You may be able to do call fowarding with 2 boxes. But a call in and reroute back out may not work. Damian Funnell wrote:> Any takers?

One of our asterisk guys, Mike Bell, hacked this into our pbx by doing the
following:
- Setup a file: /var/pbx/followme that is a tab delimited file with extension
and forward_to in it. (Example: 1001 1414xxxxxxx)
- Change our default dial to an AGI script called dial.cgi
exten => _10XX,1,Agi(dial.agi,${EXTEN})
exten => _10XX,2,Hangup
- Write a perl script that checks for the extension in the /var/pbx/followme
file and if it's there, dials that instead (checks to see if it should use a
SIP or ZAP channel first)
-Add in hooks for *29 (remove) and *29{X*} (forward) to another number:
exten => *29,1,Answer
exten => *29,2,Agi(FollowMe.agi,${CALLERIDNUM})
exten => *29,3,Hangup
exten => _*29.,1,Answer
exten => _*29.,2,Agi(followMe.agi,${CALLERIDNUM},${EXTEN:3})
exten => _*29.,3,Hangup
- Write a followme.cgi script that is passed the callerid, and an optional
offsite phone number. If the offsite number is there, it is added/updated in
the followme file, otherwise it's just deleted
Hope this helps
