I am searching for a way to add a 2 second delay before calling out with Dial(). Sometimes I get the message "you must first dial a 1 to place this call". I presume the phone company is missing the first digit pulsed out sometimes. How do I put a 2 second delay after coming offhook and before dialing the digits? Thanks, jerry

Samy,
Thanks for the suggestion - however I am confused on the wiki the
'w' stands for:
*w*: Allow the /called/ user to start recording after pressing *1 or
what defined in features.conf (Asterisk > v1.0.x)
This is not a delay of any kind.
Jerry

You can prepend a 'w' for a half-second wait which will resolve this
problem.

There is no way to delay dialing pulse, which, oh by the way, is still used in a number of places around the world! What is the correct amount of delay? I have read 1 second, 1/2 second, now 1/4 second. Which is correct? John Novack

That question has been answered many many times in the last 60 days. Hint: insert a "w" in the dial string. Each "w" adds about 250 milliseconds of delay. Example: exten => _9XXXXXXX,1,Dial(Zap/4/w${EXTEN})
