[asterisk-users] Any Suggestions for Election Polling Application?
Looking to set up an outbound only Asterisk installation for 5 to 10 attendants that will cold calling phone numbers in a database. The customer would like the server to call the numbers as needed and transfer the call to an open attendant if a voice response is detected. The customer called this "call banking" but it does not seem to translate directly into what Asterisk calls it? Would Asterisk be able to do this? Anybody have good experiences with softphone software? Would Asterisk able to tranfer the person's name/phone number back to the softphone once the connection is made? Any suggestions for SIP phones? Any trouble with using ITSP like Vonage if the user has a good internet connection? -- Regards -------------------------------------- Gerald Drouillard Technology Architect Drouillard & Associates, Inc. http://www.Drouillard.ca

Hi Gerald, What about initiating the calls inbound via the web? Check out www.cognation.net/Mexuar We have also implemented a proof of concept using email to deliver the same campaign mechanics as well.
