I use something like the following for that...
[incomingcall]
exten => s,1,Wait(1)
exten => s,2,Background(somemenu)
; Menu prompts to press 1 to use the relay
exten => s,3,WaitExten()
exten => 1,1,Goto(relay,s,1)
[relay]
exten => s,1,Authenticate(123456|a)
exten => s,2,Goto(${CDR(accountcode)}|1)
exten => 123456,1,Goto(relayauth,s,1)
[relayauth]
exten => s,1,Background(pls-entr-num-uwish2-call)
exten => s,2,WaitExten
exten => _NXXNXXXXXX,1,Dial(SIP/outgoing/${EXTEN})
exten => i,1,Background(invalid)
exten => i,2,Goto(s|1)
Could also play with timeouts too.
