Hi All,
Can I overlap Playback() with Dial() in a dialplan?
For example, I have this scenario: A call comes in, Asterisk picks it up,
does Background(enter_number), then does Playback(bulletin_message),
and while the Playback() is still going, I want to execute Dial() to the target
extension so it overlaps with the Playback() and the call will be bridged
instantly upon completion of Playback(). Is this possible in Asterisk?
I am trying to save callers long distance charges by eliminating wait time
as much as possible.
Thank you.
Jeng

Otherwise use a queue and put the audio as the announcement. Anthony
