[Asterisk-Users] Grandstream transfer into outer space

According to someone else here, that would be idiotic.. (Altho my idea was to
put it into a call park where you can than pick the call up.) Or write an AGI
script to transfer the call back to the original person that just transferred
the call away. But once again, that must be idiotic.

Why don't you use "?" in your extensions.conf to catch any invalid
dialed number and send it back to the operator.

exten => i,1,Goto(MainMenu,1000,1)
