[Asterisk-Users] Can asterisk make a call to a phone?
Newbie question coming up ... Is it possible to use the asterisk to initiate a call to a phone? What I'm trying to determine is ways for software to connect to a phone and send it a sound file with a message like: Hello Mr. Jones. How are you doing today? Press 1 if you're OK. Press 2 if you need help. Or press 3 and start talking, and your message will be passed to a person. The application is probably pretty obvious. I've been digging around in asterisk to see if it can handle this, so far without finding the right docs. I've read a lot on this list about handling incoming calls, which we may want to do eventually, too. But the immediate question I'm trying to answer is how our software can react to events by making calls like the above and doing something useful with them. The immediate goal is play a sound file and then record record reply and/or button presses from the phone. (Speech recognition will come later. ;-) So am I looking in the wrong place? Or is there an example somewhere in asterisk of initiating a call from the computer side to a phone? ___ Asterisk-Users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users

RE: [Asterisk-Users] Can asterisk make a call to a phone?
Yes, you can certainly do something like this. We do outgoing applications for our customers, similar to this. Basically, you dump a triggering text file into /var/spool/asterisk/outgoing, which asterisk checks for every second. This causes an outgoing call to be made based on the dialplan entry in extensions.conf. Works pretty well, for low call volume stuff at least. Read up in: /usr/src/asterisk/sample.call and there are many posts regarding this subject in past messages Good luck! Scott Scott M. Stingel Emerging Voice Technology Inc.
