asterisk users - Apr 2013 - How to show caller number ?

Hi,

I am using asterisk 11.1.0. How to display the caller number (from asterisk
-rvvv terminal) in the first step of the extension (before doing any
action) ?

Thanks

Use 'verbose()' in priority 1. Note that this means whatever was at 
priority 1 needs to be changed to either '2' or 'n'.

To display the called number, I use something like:

         exten = _x.,1,                  verbose(1,[${EXTEN}@${CONTEXT}])

(The nice thing about exten at context is that you can use your mouse to 
quickly select it then type 'dialplan show ' and then paste the
clipboard
to see the relevant section of the dialplan.)

To display the caller ID, how about something like:

         exten = _x.,1,                 
verbose(1,[${CALLERID(num)}@${EXTEN}@${CONTEXT}])
