<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Arial'>Hello! I was curious to know if anyone out there had used
Asterisk for voice broadcasting. We have a proprietary dialer that can do it,
and we are using Global Connect – <a href="http://www.gc1.com/">www.gc1.com</a>
– for some voice broadcasting campaigns. However I’d like to see if
I could use Asterisk, possibly with Vicidial or gnuDialer, to do voice
broadcasting. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;

<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Arial'>Essentially I’d have Asterisk make a call, and when
the called party answers, I would play a simple dialog:<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

font-family:Arial'>Hello. Hola – para Espanol, oprima el numero cinqo. </span></font><font
size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Arial'>We are
trying to reach <first name, last name>. If you are this person, please
press 1…<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Arial'><o:p> </o:p></span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Arial'>If the person presses 5 then I would play the same dialog in
Spanish. If the person presses 1 then I would execute a transfer to my NEC
PBX, otherwise we play a basic message and hang up.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Arial'>Has anyone had any success (or failure) in doing something
like this with Asterisk?<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
