Hello all, I've played with background and play sounds apps and googled around and asked the list before to no avail. Does anyone know of a way to have tones played during the call progress stage of the call? We (especially on some international circuits) get up to 5 seconds of silence before the phone starts ringing or is busy. I don't want to force "R" on the Dial app as then you can get "ring ring, ring ring, rin, beep beep beep" when the phone is busy. What I want is something to play during the call setup or "making progress" stage of the call. just a series of beeps about 800ms apart until the phone call is actually set up... so then you would get something like "bip, bip, bip, bip, bip, ring ring, ring ring..." for ringing or "bip, bip, bip, bip, bip, beep, beep, beep..." for busy. Any ideas? Mikel

Are you getting a lot of complaints from users that certain international calls take a long time to setup? You could detect what was dialed and route accordingly, and have a caveat play before the dial to those particular calls instead.

For example, Dial app allows you to specify "r" to force ring tone, even though the other end is not ringing yet, how do I override that and only provide a specific tone (not a ring tone) until the other end is busy, or congested, or rings.?

You could do this with a "class specific" Music on hold. - exten => s,1,SetMusicOnHold(mytone) - exten => s,1,Dial(tech/1,,m) -----Original Message----- From: asterisk-users-bounces at lists.digium.com [mailto:asterisk-users-bounces at lists.digium.com] On Behalf Of Mikel Lindsaar Sent: Friday, May 29, 2009 7:41 AM To: Asterisk Users Mailing List - Non-Commercial Discussion Subject: Re: [asterisk-users] Call in progress tones On Thu, May 28, 2009 at 12:10 AM, David Backeberg <dbackeberg at gmail.com> wrote:> On Tue, May 26, 2009 at 8:46 PM, Mikel Lindsaar <raasdnil at gmail.com>wrote:>> Does anyone know of a way to have tones played during the call >> progress stage of the call?> You could detect what was dialed and route accordingly, and have a > caveat play before the dial to those particular calls instead.Well.. no, what I want is to be able to play a specific tone before the call is established.
