[Asterisk-Users] Call & Drop / Call & Tranfer - tranfering a call to a different number.

[Edwin Silva]

There is a calling card AGI script that you can probably find in the
archives by searching for "calling card" & agi.  Also I posted a good
little script for unsupervised call transfer of incoming calls some time
ago. I'm sure people have improved it since then.  The only thing you
need is a centrex style line for us its called local link and most
standard business lines have the required feature available.  Basically
the agi script will handle your authentication routine and then prompt
for the number you want to dial.  Once this is done asterisk will flash
the line, wait a couple seconds for the line to switch over senddtmf out
which will effectively dial the number flash again to link the calls and
then hangup effectively freeing up that line.

First, I am very new to this software. If I missed a searchable archive,
please point 
me in the right direction.

I am wishing to know if Asterisk can be used to do a Call & Drop
scenario.

This is where someone calls, Asterisk answers, ask for the number that
the person 
wishes to dial, gets the PIN, and then completes the call to the number
they desired. 
Once the connection is completed, this software/service is no longer in
the call loop.

Typically this scenario is used to offer a wider calling area. Called
Metro or Extended 
Metro in our area. There are many people in area that this feature is
not available 
from their phone company, or they don't want to pay much for it, as they
don't make 
many calls.

I am certainly willing to provide more information, but I wanted to find
out if Asterisk 
was even something that could do it- or be modified to do so.

Thanks,

John Chapman
