[Asterisk-Users] Limit DTMF tones

[Henry Devito]

The issue is the inmates have figured out a way to dial long distance
numbers by calling different private phone numbers and using that companies
DISA to complete calls. So in order to stop that I have to suppress dtmf
after so many digits are dialed.  Any idea's?

I just did something similar:

[recordcall]
exten => s,1,SetVar(CALLFILENAME=/tmp/calls/${CALLERIDNUM}-${TIMESTAMP})
exten => s,2,Monitor(wav,${CALLFILENAME},m)
exten => s,3,Playback(agent-pass)
exten => s,4,DISA(/path/to/asterisk/passwd/file)

and then just make sure that the extension you dump them in to does not
allow 
them to dial anything ohter than what you want (i.e. 7-digit #s or whatnot)

I don't know of any way to suppress DTMF if that's what you're talking
about.
