[Asterisk-Users] answer delay

[Peter J Dean]

You are stilling going to need to answer the call before you can play  
any message or music or other.

Here is a start for you.

So lets look at it logically;

- Advise the caller of the charges and conditions.
- The caller must has a option to acknowledge they understand and  
accept the charges
- (Optionally) The caller has can repeat the charges and conditions  
message.

This no leads us towards a simple IVR system. Below is an example,  
and you will need to clean it up.

You can use the ResetCDR() command to reset the time used, and  
continue from there.

So, extending on the below (untested, but you get the general idea);

[context_askcustomerbeforechargingthem]
exten => xxxxxxxxx,1,Answer
exten => xxxxxxxxx,n,Playback(audio)
exten => xxxxxxxxx,n,Playback 
(press_one_to_accept_the_charges_and_conditions)
exten => xxxxxxxxx,n,Playback 
(just_simply_hangup_if_you_do_not_wish_to_proceed)
exten => xxxxxxxxx,n,WaitExten(5)
exten => xxxxxxxxx,n,Playback(out)
exten => xxxxxxxxx,n,Hangup

exten => _1,1,Playback(thankyou_for_selecting_our_service_or_whatever)
exten => _1,n,ResetCDR()
exten => _1,n,Goto or do whatever next from here
