Hi there; I didn't see any "G" option in the example above, and the usage for the option parameters is entirely undocumented at https://wiki.asterisk.org/wiki/display/AST/Asterisk+13+Application_Dial The G options are as below G - If the call is answered, transfer the calling party to the specified priority and the called party to the specified priority plus one. context exten

Thanks Joshua and everyone, Joshua's solution seems a lot simpler and works well. Only one thing now - The reason I named the classes as I did, was so that I could select the class based on callerID plus extension. Unless I've misread it, I'm limited to 9 switchable classes via the "digit=#" option, is that correct? Or is there a clever hack around this? extensions.conf

I've got a directory under /var/lib/asterisk/sounds which contains a bunch of sound files. I would like to call the Playback command to play the files, but I need it to select a file to play randomly. Is there any way to do this? ~jay

Way back in 2016 the only way to allow callers to listen in to a stream "at will" was to do the following: moh.conf [radio] mode=custom application=/usr/bin/mplayer https://example.com/stream.mp3 -quiet -ao pcm:file=/dev/stdout -af volume=5,resample=8000,channels=1,format=alaw extensions.conf exten => radio,1,Verbose(1, Entered radio context) same => n,Set(VOLUME(TX)=1)

Hi List; What is the difference between WaitExten function and TIMEOUT (response)? As I see that both are used to determine the allowed time to enter the digits, any one can advise?

I'm a bit confused about how WaitExten works. I assumed that when it returns 0, the next priority in the extension would be executed, but that doesn't seem to be the case. When I get to WaitExten and enter extension 8, it plays the message, then Waits another 10 seconds and times out. [local] exten => s,1,Wait,1 ; Wait a second, just for fun exten =>

All: Some of the people who dial into to our system will press the pound key when entering an extension for the directory key. When waitexten gets that, I get an error messages as, for example 123# doesn't match any extension. I was going to use ${EXTEN} to just use the first three numbers, but I'm not sure how to use this with WaitExten. so I have exten =>

I am trying to use a WaitExten in a Macro, and I am finding that the extension which is pressed ends up in context of the calling context and not in the Macro. How do you do a WaitExten in a Macro? Tony Plack

Hello, I am running Asterisk 11 on CentOS 6.4 with about 150 local SIP clients on a LAN. The SIP clients are a mixture of Yealink phones (e.g SIP-T32G, SIP-T42G, etc).

Hi, I have a Digium TE410p T1 card and I've noticed that under asterisk 1.4.17/18 I have problems detecting DTMF in IVRs. I think I've narrowed the problem down to some sort of interference between the greeting that is playing and the DTMF tones. DTMF detection seems to work very reliably when I am in Read() or WaitExten(), but is absolutely unusable while in Background(). I hope someone

I want to create a script for IVR that compiles responses, aggregates them to a total number. Then, run an equation based on the result.

Hi list, We're trying to set up a phone number that customers can call to get a hold of anyone of a group of sysadmins (and not their voice mails!). We found the findme example ([1]) that makes the callees press 1 to accept the call. It almost works, but it doesn't work correctly when one of the callees, the sysadmins, hangs up after accepting the call. We're using this

I am using a context to change values in a DB. Currently in my context, I am passing it to exten => s,1,WaitExten(7) ; 7 seconds to input exten => s,n,Set(NEW_VAR=${EXTEN}) ;Here is my problem.
