asterisk users - Jul 2010 - asterisk-users Digest, Vol 72, Issue 82

channels are connected. i want to get channel-id before dialing so that i
can dial using that channel id.

I am afraid that is not going to work. Maybe you should take a step back 
and describe what it actually is that you are trying to accomplish.
