asterisk users - Aug 2004 - How to accept the call and without billing the caller?

Hi,How to accepts the call and plays a voice message on the line without 
billing the caller ? This may
be necessary for IVR applications that want to explain features of the 
service offered .

With PRI you can do this, and that is more or less exactly why it's allowed.
Just don't Answer() the call, just issue Playback() and Hangup().

your telco for this.
