Right now, my organization is using a commercial service (OneCallNow.com), that gives telephone notifications to all numbers in a predefined list. Example: -Admin records a voice message -Service calls each number in the list, and plays the message back to them It's a pretty handy service, albeit a bit pricey. I've been wondering if Asterisk could do this for me? I don't really want to have to write scripts, but it would be great if it's already a feature. I don't have an Asterisk PBX running yet, but when I do it will probably have multiple T1 PRI lines, making it possible to dial all these numbers (100+) in a reasonable amount of time. Anyone know of a way to do this? -- Christopher Stamper Email: christopherstamper at gmail.com Web: http://tinyurl.com/2ooncg gTalk: http://tinyurl.com/6e359r Skype: cdstamper -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Nerdvittles.com has a nice example of this, when they are up. They used it for Phone trees for a school or something like that. Took less than 30 minutes to put in my dialplan and use. _____ From: asterisk-users-bounces at lists.digium.com [mailto:asterisk-users-bounces at lists.digium.com] On Behalf Of Christopher Stamper Sent: Thursday, June 11, 2009 12:47 PM To: Asterisk Users Mailing List - Non-Commercial Discussion Subject: [asterisk-users] Automatic Calling Feature?

Not too hard to do, you can have a script generate a list of call files which automatically ring the callers in the list and play a message http://www.voip-info.org/tiki-index.php?page=Asterisk+auto-dial+out Cheers Duncan Christopher Stamper wrote:> Right now, my organization is using a commercial service > (OneCallNow.com), that gives telephone notifications to all numbers in > a predefined list.
