Hi all, In .nl there is a feature provided by the incumbent that I would like to implement for an internal PBX setup. The incumbents feature does the following (adopted for internal PBX use, so no external/PSTN numbers are used): 1) pick up phone and dial an internal extension 2) if other side is busy, play a message "press 5 to get connected once the other side becomes available" 3) press 5 on phone 4) hangup 5) wait till phone starts ringing 6) pick up phone 7) other extension is automatically dialed again and you should hear it ring I believe this is called camp on. Found some examples on voip-info.org but they assume that you do not hangup the originating phone. Anyone have an idea how to implement this feature as described above? Thanks and regards, Patrick

In Australia, Camp On is known as a feature that allows you to ignore a busy signal and simply keep holding. The feature you are referring to is called a Callback.
I believe what you refer to is called "Ring Back When Free" at least thats how I know it in the UK.

So we had "normal ARB", or "ARB on next use". -- Andreas Sikkema BBned NV Software Engineer Planeetbaan 4 +31 (0)23 7074342 2132 HZ Hoofddorp

Any way to do this *without* the caller having to stay on the phone? Regards, Patrick

Implementing either one in asterisk needs to consider other extension config info such as whether the extension has VM or not, whether the call came from the pstn or another local extension, etc. Not likely either form can truly be implemented in a agi script without significantly impacting other pbx functions.
