[Asterisk-Users] press # to execute

[Mike Roberts]

Read takes the Digits that they enter, and puts it into a variable. 
Then I can take that variable and put it into the dial() command.


exten => 877XXXXXXX,1,ANSWER
exten => 877XXXXXXX,2,DigitTimeout,5
exten => 877XXXXXXX,3,ResponseTimeout,15
exten => 877XXXXXXX,4,Read(Secret,IVR/en_enter_destination,0) 
exten => 877XXXXXXX,5,dial(SIP/${Secret}@111.222.255.256) 

This is what I have. So When someone calls into the 877 DID, they
hear "enter destination", then they can enter in the phone number
they wish to call, press # to execute it, so they don't have to wait
for the timeout, which is done by the read() cmd. And then it sends
the call to my LD provider.
