asterisk users - Apr 2006 - Ring a grop of extension, then playback a file, then transfer to external number

Ok,

   Here is what I got working:

	A call comes in from a Zap line. 5 SIP extension ring if nobody picks 
up, the call is transfered to a cell phone number. That works.

   I not want to add a playback of a file ("Please waite while you are 
being transfered") before transfering the call to the cell phone.

   How can I do this?

Andre

I do the same thing with outbound transfers.. Here is my code.

exten => s,3,Playback(pls-wait-connect-call)

I do this right before the dial command.

Asterisk does not play that message by default.  Perhaps you are using 
some GUI like Asterisk@Home, FreePBX, or AMP.  If so, ask on their 
support lists.

I think he wanted now instead of not. Changes the whole meaning of the
question!!!

Snip, snip 

I think he wanted to say:

"I NOW want to add a playback of a file ("Please waite while you are
being transfered") before transfering the call to the cell phone."

I did not completely understand what you are asking but have you tried 
something like:

   exten => 662,1,Dial(SIP/123&Sip/124,24)
   exten => 662,n,playback(wait-while-try-cell-phone)
   exten => 662,n,Dial(Zap/g1/CellPhoneNumber)

This would try ringing your sip devices for 24 seconds and if no one 
picked up would then play the message 'wait-while-try-cell-phone' and 
then would dial the cell phone.
