Hello all, I want to setup Asterisk to forward a call if the dialed extension is busy. I do not want to wait on the line until the extension timeout expired. What I want is when I dial am extension currently Busy (Talking with someone), asterisk inmediately forwards my call to an extension I previosly defined. Someone could help me? Any clue will be appreciated. Regards from Spain. Ismael Gil.

Basically: when dialing an extension which is currently busy, execution will continue in the current context at priority n+101. So you could have something like: exten => 1000,1,Dial(SIP/techie,30) exten => 1000,2,Hangup ; goes here if techie doesn't answer in 30 secs exten => 1000,102,Dial(SIP/trekkie,30) flynn

Hey everyone, I'm new to asterisk but eager to learn. So here's my scenario. I have an asterisk box with two digium x100p cards. I have a POTS line connected to one of them. Basically my goal is to have someone call into the incoming POTS line and be presented with a menu where they would select an extension that would automatically connect them to my cell phone. I have two phone lines and too FXO cards, but I understand that it can be done with one line and one card using the three-way calling feature. I have the menu system setup and it works well with the exception of transferring or forwarding the call to my cell phone. The most success that I've had is using the DTMF command and manually dialing the number. My phone rings, but asterisk hangs up before I can answer it. I could set a timeout on it, but it would disconnect the call after that time even if I was still on the phone. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Here is a snipplet of my extensions.conf file for what it's worth: exten => 1,1,Playback(pbx-transfer) ;*****PRESS 1 TO MAKE AN APPOITMENT exten => 1,2,Goto,cellphone|s|1 [cellphone] exten => s,1,Flash exten => s,2,Dial,Zap/2/9729796243 exten => s,4,Congestion Paul -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
