More appropriate may be a jump on BUSY, else the action may be  
processed when not required i.e. after a successful call.

[macro-stdext]
exten => s,1,NoOp
exten => s,n,Dial(SIP/${ARG2},20)
exten => s,n,Goto(s-${DIALSTATUS},1)

exten => s-BUSY,1,  <--- DO STUFF HERE :)
; - Playback "The person is busy, press 1 to have them call you back  
when available or 2 to leave them a voicemail"
; - Add code to catch 1 or 2 as appropriate and send to voicemail or  
script to check channel status and handle call back.


exten => s-NOANSWER,1,Macro(voicemail,U${ARG3})
exten => s-NOANSWER,n,Hangup

exten => _s-.,1,Goto(s-NOANSWER,1)
