[Asterisk-Users] Playing announcement to called user prior to Confirmation

Hello all,

As I'm sure is pretty common, I have some extensions that dial mobile numbers 
after a local timeout.  I would like to prompt the caller to record their 
name after the local timeout and have the recipient be able to hear the name 
prior to accepting the call. 

Recording the message is easy enough, so I thought about doing something like 
dumping them into MeetMe after they record (change the empty conference room 
message to something more appropriate "please wait while I try mobile.. blah 
blah".. even some nice music when they wait.  Then, when the mobile is called 
I could dial some extension that plays the recorded name and decide whether 
or not I want to join the conf, but if I rejects the call, then the caller is 
stuck in the conference, right?

I'm pretty new (in case it doesn't show) so if this has been covered I hope 
someone is kind enough to post a link (I've searched... nothing so far.)
