[asterisk-users] Cell phone redialer?

[Myles Wakeham]

I have an Asterisk 1.4.2 system installed at our office, and have a few 
'on the road' sales people that want to make calls from their cell 
phones in transit, but they are complaining that people returning calls 
that they make from their cell phones are simply just using the CID that 
is coming from the cell phone which is causing them to get phone calls 
outside of business hours.

What I was hoping was that either there was an existing Add-On to 
Asterisk out there for this, or that I could construct something. 
Basically I wanted to see if I could get them to call our phone number 
on Asterisk, enter some special extension and/or enter a passcode, and 
then enter the phone number that they wanted to call in which our phone 
system would route the call to the party but with our caller ID.

Is something like this possible?  I know there are companies out there 
charging for this sort of thing (like SpoofID, etc.) but since we may 
already have the technology in place for this, I was hoping I could roll 
my own 'home grown' version of it.

Thanks in advance for any comments.
