[asterisk-users] Outbund Route via Extension

2007-08-16 Thread Nhadie Ramos
Hi All,

is it possible to choose outbound route by checking the extension of the 
caller?
e.g extension that starts with 3 goes to outbound route 1 extension that 
starts with 4 goes to outbound route 2.  Basically, i'm hosting two(2) 
office, extension 3XXX is office 1 and extensions 4XX is office 2, they 
both have the same dialling pattern so i need to choose route based on 
source.  i'm using freepbx for this.

thank you
Nhadie

You could easily just put the extensions in different contexts. I'm not sure
how freepbx handles this, but Asterisk certainly supports having different
handsets in different outgoing contexts. This is probably your best option

Another option is to have gotoif statements, based on the callerID of the
handset placing the call.

Another option, although it's bad in my opinion, is to train everyone in
Company A to dial a 9 for outgoing calls, and everyone in Company B to dial
8. That give 0 security, so again, it's bad, but it could work.

It's easy in ther dialplan, but whether freePbx will overwrite your hand 
crafted extentions.conf is another matter...

To extract the 1st character of a variable use ${variable:0:1} then you 
can use GotoIf ...
