Folks,
Had a request from a customer: is it possible for a customer, using a
password to restrict others from making long distance/cell calls?
That is, the user set a level of service?
Something like this:
Customer dials a number -- "operator" asks for password, then service
level (another number). Service level would be something like:
1 - allow inbound calls only
2 - allow 1 + local/toll free calls
3 - allow 2 + long distance national
4 - allow 3 + cell calls
0 - allow 4 + international calls (basically cancel all call restrictions)
Dialing to restricted zones would evoke a message from the operator
that the phone is blocked by owner.
Code examples? Hints? RTFM URL?
TIA,
David A. Bandel

Hint: an AGI application that looks into a database for passwords, and the decides, according to the prefix, if the call is allowed or not On Wed, Aug 26, 2009 at 4:39 AM, David A.

You could also do this in the dialplan without AGI. -----Original Message----- From: asterisk-users-bounces at lists.digium.com [mailto:asterisk-users-bounces at lists.digium.com] On Behalf Of Roberto Piola Sent: Wednesday, August 26, 2009 6:37 AM To: Asterisk Users Mailing List - Non-Commercial Discussion Subject: Re: [asterisk-users] User-invoked call restrictions Hint: an AGI application that looks into a database for passwords, and the decides, according to the prefix, if the call is allowed or not On Wed, Aug 26, 2009 at 4:39 AM, David A.

Next step up is to store the password in the Asterisk DB. Next step up would be an external database (MySQL) and a web page for frequent updates. Personally, at this stage I would use an AGI to keep the dialplan from getting ugly. -- Thanks in advance, ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Steve Edwards sedwards at sedwards.com Voice: +1-760-468-3867 PST Newline Fax: +1-760-731-3000
