[asterisk-users] {s} - extension

[Daniel Suleyman]

The idea is that the person connecting and dial anything he want and
the script is deciding to proceed the call or to terminate it(I think
it will be easy to manage extensions.conf - no need to create
extensions).

You know {i} doesent work

exten => 1,1,Answer;
exten => 1,2,Playback(hello-world,skip);
exten => 1,3,Hangup;

exten => i,1,Answer;
exten => i,2,Playback(welcome,skip);
exten => i,3,Hangup;

as I thought when i will dial wrong number it will play welcome message but
asterisk promt -> Call from 7007 to extension 700786 rejected because
extension not found.

to Tzafrir Cohen

in curent config i didnt set context in sip(unsing default) but it
doesent matter if I set up context the same thing s and i doesn't work

now dial plan show next

 Context 'default' created by 'pbx_config' ]
  '7007' =>         1. Answer()
   [pbx_config]
                        2. Playback(hello-world|skip)
[pbx_config]
                        3. Hangup()
       [pbx_config]
  'i' =>               1. Answer()
      [pbx_config]
                        2. Playback(welcome|skip)
[pbx_config]
                        3. Hangup()
       [pbx_config]

-= 2 extensions (6 priorities) in 1 context. =-
