Hi all,
I've just connected a cellsocket to my * server so that I can keep call
costs low for outgoing calls to mobile phones. I'm using an old
fashioned 5110 cellsocket (because I have a few of these phones and I
think that they are very reliable). For those that don't know the
cellsockets they convert a mobile phone into a POTS line. The
cellsocket has a funny dialtone but that doesn't seem to be a problem
for *. The way the cellsockets work is that you dial the number
normally but you need to dial a trailing # which makes the cellsocket
"press" the send button and initiate the call.
What I do need to do is add a # (pound/hash) character to the end of the
outgoing number with the Dial command in extensions.conf. The following
DOESN'T seem to work:
exten => _08XXXXXXXX,1,Dial(Zap/1/${EXTEN}#)
(Here in Ireland all mobile numbers start with 08 and then there are a
following 8 digits). As you can see I was chancing my arm putting a #
character in there just after the mobile number. I've looked a the docs
for the Dial command but I can't find anything about putting in #
characters at all.
Thanks for any help!
