Hello all. I'm very new to the list and quite new to Asterisk. I did a little messing around with a prebuilt system (TrixBox) while investigating phone systems for a business that my partner and I are getting together. Anyway, what I'm wondering is if it's possible to do this: A call comes in to a US 800 number that is a SIP or IAX VoIP line, then * can transfer that incoming call to use another SIP or AIX VoIP line? I want to offer an 800 number (and pay for the initial time for the call) but I don't want to pay 800 charges for the duration of the call (we could be on the phone with someone an hour or longer.) I've seen references to trunk transferring in some commercial products for *, but I'm thinking if they have that functionality, I should be able to build it, too! Thanks in advance.

why not calling them back? 1- you get the call on the 800 line, and after the operator evaluaes the situation, dials a digit or something, the system calls back the same number, but via your preferred route/system/billing. 2- get the call, then play an automated message to the user explaining how and why we'll call him back in a minute, so he hangs up and wait for the call David Freeman escribi?:> Hello all. > > I'm very new to the list and quite new to Asterisk. > > I did a little messing around with a prebuilt system (TrixBox) while > investigating phone systems for a business that my partner and I are > getting together. > > Anyway, what I'm wondering is if it's possible to do this: > > A call comes in to a US 800 number that is a SIP or IAX VoIP line, > then * can transfer that incoming call to use another SIP or AIX VoIP > line? > > I want to offer an 800 number (and pay for the initial time for the > call) but I don't want to pay 800 charges for the duration of the call > (we could be on the phone with someone an hour or longer.) > > I've seen references to trunk transferring in some commercial products > for *, but I'm thinking if they have that functionality, I should be > able to build it, too! > > Thanks in advance. > Dave > ------------------------------------------------------------------------ > > _______________________________________________ > --Bandwidth and Colocation provided by Easynews.com -- > > asterisk-users mailing list > To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: > http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users >
man what can I say, i've never heard of that, but if you find a way to transfer a call from an 800 line to a no charge trunk within the same call, I'll be very interested in learning it. regards Manrique David Freeman escribi?:> Hello all. > > I'm very new to the list and quite new to Asterisk. > > I did a little messing around with a prebuilt system (TrixBox) while > investigating phone systems for a business that my partner and I are > getting together. > > Anyway, what I'm wondering is if it's possible to do this: > > A call comes in to a US 800 number that is a SIP or IAX VoIP line, > then * can transfer that incoming call to use another SIP or AIX VoIP > line? > > I want to offer an 800 number (and pay for the initial time for the > call) but I don't want to pay 800 charges for the duration of the call > (we could be on the phone with someone an hour or longer.) > > I've seen references to trunk transferring in some commercial products > for *, but I'm thinking if they have that functionality, I should be > able to build it, too! > > Thanks in advance. > Dave > ------------------------------------------------------------------------ > > _______________________________________________ > --Bandwidth and Colocation provided by Easynews.com -- > > asterisk-users mailing list > To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: > http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users >-- ********************************** Manrique Feoli Gerente Investigaci?n y Desarrollo manrique.feoli@kinetos.com K?netos Telefon?a e Inform?tica. www.kinetos.com 506-234-7771 **********************************
