When I play:
exten => s,n,Background(welcome)
and press extension "1" the system will not jump to this extension immediately,
there is a few sec. pause.
I think because I have an extensions "1" and "11" in my system.
Is there a way to tell "Background" to execute the first match?
I see there are two options: 's' and 'm' but none of them return immediately
I put voicemail on exten '0' (nothing else starts with '0') but when the
message is playing and I hit '0'
there is a two or three seconds pause before the Voicemail box rings.
Is there a way to jump to extension immediately?
exten => 1,n,Background(T-to-leave-msg)
exten => 1,n,Background(press-0)
exten => 1,n,WaitExten(5)
[voicemail11]
exten => 0,1,Voicemail(11,b)
exten => 0,n,Hangup()

Good idea, I like your approach with press "number" to leave a message", this
will definitely cut the robo-calls voice-mail.
I do this, but without any white or black lists, and it works great. The
greeting says "press one for <my wife>, or two for <me>". That alone is
enough to knock out virtually all the spammers (99% of them are
robo-calls these days). Once 1 or 2 is pressed, the phones in the house
will ring with a different ring code for each, and if there's no answer,
the call goes to separate voice mail boxes for my wife and myself. Works
great. That alone was worth the effort to install asterisk. Now, the
cost of the telephony card, that's a different story. Never before have
I had a PCI card that costs more than the rest of the machine combined.
So I really wouldn't have done this if it weren't such a cool geek
project :-)
