What you may want to check out is the PlayTones and Ringing applications in
your dial plan. Asterisk will answer the call, but your users won't know that
because all they hear is the call still ringing. After a certain amount of time
passes, you can send them directly to voicemail, hangup, run your scripts, or
anything else you want to do with the call. My dial plan snippet looks like
this. Just an option.
exten => s,n(ringing),Answer
exten => s,n,PlayTones(ring)
exten => s,n,Ringing
exten => s,n,Wait(${TIMEOUT})
exten => s,n,GotoIf($["${BLOCKDEST}" = "3"]?s-NA-VOICEMAIL,1)
exten => s,n,GotoIf($["${CUSTCALLBLOCKACTION}" = "3"]?s-NA-VOICEMAIL,1) ;
exten => s,n,PlayTones(congestion)
exten => s,n,Congestion(10)
exten => s,n,Hangup

Subject: [asterisk-users] agi get_data noanswer
Hi Guys..
I am making an anoucement machine that is not allowed to "answer" the call due
to a billing issue.
I found that Playback with "noanwser" is usefull in this case.
$AGI->exec('Playback',"$message","noanswer")}
But when i request some values to the user with get_data, i think there is an
answer anywere.
Is there a way to get_data without answering the call?
Thanks in advance!!
