asterisk users - Jun 2007 - answer a voip call, play info.

Hi all -

 Not really sure where to post this question as I am just starting to
research this issue.

 We want to allow users to dial into our did voip number.   Our service will:

1.  get their phone number via caller ID.  look up data with the caller id.

2.  generate a wave file based on the data returned & play it to the
user over the established voip link.


How might this be done using DID origination and a VOIP stack?  Or is
this even what I want?

Any ideas?


Thank you--

I think you're on the right track.  You need to decide where to store 
the CID->data mappings (files on disk, astdb, mysql, generated 
on-the-fly) and come up with what the wave files are (text to speech? 
selected from pre-made recordings?) I would do the brunt of the work 
with a script instead of in the diaplan directly. In a fragment of a 
nutshell, and probably riddled with errors:

in sip.conf,
register => with your peer

in extensions.conf,
[incoming_context]
exten => XXXXXXXXXX,1,Answer
exten => XXXXXXXXXX,2,System("generate_wave_file ${CALLERID(num)} 
${CALLERID(num)}.wav")
exten => XXXXXXXXXX,3,Playback("${CALLERID(num)}.wav")
exten => XXXXXXXXXX,4,Wait(3)
exten => XXXXXXXXXX,5,goto(incoming_context,XXXXXXXXXX,3)

Oops, I meant to include in my prior note that you could of course 
generate the wave file with flite or swift for text-to-speech
