Hi All, The Asterisk book (the pdf version) is excellent!! I want to thank all the guys that put it together. I am most grateful for it. There is something about writing a dialplan that I'm not clear about. What I'm trying to figure out how to do is this: when I transfer a call to the destination number, and the person called picks up the call, I want to play a greeting message to the person called for a few seconds before Asterisk bridges the two parties to talk. In other words, only the person called should hear the greeting message, not the person calling. How do I do this in Asterisk? Why do you need something like this, you ask? Simple. I want to put bulletin messages, reminder messages, corporate communication snippets, etc for employees to hear - no more than 3 seconds. Thanks for your suggestions.

This is an option in the queue application. You could just create a queue for that single user. Thanks, Steve Jeng Yu wrote:> Hi All, > > The Asterisk book (the pdf version) is excellent!!

For example, your extension might look like this: exten => 123,1,Dial(SIP/some_phone,30,A(hello-world)) This would play the "Hello World" prompt to the called party before bridging the two calls together. -- Jared Smith Community Relations Manager Digium, Inc.
