[asterisk-users] Anyone Know How to Have Asterisk Work Like GranCentral and Require a Touch-Tone to Connect?

[Steve Totaro]

How about parking the call with an announcement such as "locating
subscriber, please wait a monent" and using  app_swift, calling with
then CID info read and then using a menu options in your dialplan on
how to handle the call?  Press 1 call app_bridge to connect the legs.

Intricate, yes. but more functional than the "c" flag as you can add
more options than simply pressing 1 or # such as forwarding the call,
sending them to telemarketing hell, playing a message that you are not
available and to try back later, or simply hanging up.

Just a thought.

Thanks,
Steve Totaro

The first member of the Ring group to hit 1 gets the call... if more than 1 person picks up the handset right away, the first to hit 1 gets it, and the rest hear a "sorry, too late, somebody else got it"-type message (no idea what it actually says).
