Hello Community, I Want to detect if a cell number is ON or OFF... for that matter i can generate call to it using PSTN lines (configured with asterisk). The problem is that i only want to see if the cell number can receive a ring or not. If ring is recieved at called number end then mark it as ON in database... Dial application or Originate action might not be that helpful. Do you have any idea regarding this.. -- Best Regards Shakeel Abbas -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Dial() will return Dialstatus , if the number dialed is busy or off now. use this application you can detect a number is busy or not in several seconds. i use this method in my dialplan. 2010/4/19 ABBAS SHAKEEL <shakeel.abbas.qau at gmail.com>:> Hello Community, > > I Want to detect if a cell number is ON or OFF... for that matter i can > generate call to it using PSTN lines (configured with asterisk). > > The problem is that? i only want to see if the cell number can receive a > ring or not.

This is probably a good idea, BUT it is likely that the dialed phone will
never ring (Perhaps that is the desired effect); In my experience it takes
Zap/DAHDI about 2-7 seconds to generate the first ring of a call.

another idea you could test is to use a very short Timeout in your Dial
command.
like Dial(ZAP/012345678,1) - will dial and exit after 1 sec with
DIALSTATUS set accordingly
