asterisk users - Mar 2008 - How to give user a prompt before connecting thecall

Yes it is.
I'm remote at the moment so I can't send you the code but google for
mobile remote receiver and you'll find what you are looking for.
Lots of people do it so they don't have calls to cell phones picked up by
voicemail.


Cheers

Subject: [asterisk-users] How to give user a prompt before connecting thecall

Hello,

Is it possible to request for the premission from the called party  through
a prompt before routing the call?
For instance, before actually connecting two parties through the use of DIAL
command in the dialplan, I want to let Asterisk to automatically
ask for the called party to decide whether he/she would like to be
connected.  ( ex. Press 1 to connect and 2 to hangup).

Can this function be done?  If so, how to do it?

Thank you .

Pete Dao

It can be done via the 'visit a macro' part of the dial command...

If anyone would like, i can post a code sample.
