In your extensions.conf, set Global Variable TRANSFER_ENABLE=T
then one of your extensions looks like: [from-internal] exten => s,1,SetVar(TRANSFER_ENABLE=T) exten => s,2,NoOp exten => *,1,GotoIf($[${TRANSFER_ENABLE} = 0]?2:8) exten => *,2,SetVar(TRANSFER_ENABLE=T) exten => *,3,Wait(0) exten => *,4,Playback(pbx-transfer) exten => *,5,Playback(is-set-to) exten => *,6,Playback(pound) exten => *,7,Goto(s,1) exten => *,8,SetVar(TRANSFER_ENABLE=) exten => *,9,Wait(0) exten => *,10,Playback(pbx-transfer) exten => *,11,Playback(is-not-set) exten => *,12,Goto(s,2) and then include this extension where your phones dial out...then on your dial-outs, something like this: exten => _NXXXXXX,1,Dial(${OUTBOUND}/${EXTEN},40,${TRANSFER_ENABLE}r) exten => _NXXXXXX,2,Congestion exten => _NXXXXXX,102,Congestion Well, you get the idea. You press the * button before a call, wait for the message, then you can dial out without the # button being active.
