This does the trick for me. Sorry for not posting it earlier As long as there is no answer the channel takes a second pause by jumping to (wait). As soon as the status is not "NOANSWER" anymore the routine jumps to (go_on) and plays the "special_message" or any other message of our choice.
exten => s,1(answer),Answer() exten => s,n(gotoif),Gotoif($[ "${DIALSTATUS}" : "NOANSWER"]?wait:go_on) exten => s,n(wait),Wait(1) exten => s,n,Goto(gotoif) exten => s,n(go_on),Playback(special_message) Erik de Wild Tripple-o Your Asterisk migration partner > Another solution that works for me is to add "Playback(silence/1)" > just > before whatever you are about to do.
