Hi, Is it possible to dial a number (from an extension dial plan) and not bridge the call immediately? I want to announce something to the callee before the caller is connected. Thanks, Adam.
You can try a Background command in your dialplan before the Dial statement: exten => _0ZXXXXXXXX,1,Answer() exten => _0ZXXXXXXXX,2,Background(yourAnnouceFile) exten => _0ZXXXXXXXX,3,Dial(...,30,r) S.

The caller continues to hear ringing while the callee hears the audio. Once the audio is finished, the call is bridged. You could also use the M(x) parameter to run a macro instead. Nick.

Thanks.
