[Asterisk-Users] # Transfers.

[Craig Guy]

Theres a couple of ways -

Check to see if your bank really requires you to press pound.  Mine says to
press it, but all pins are fixed length so it may time out after a second or
two.

Alternatively put a regex in your dialplan to recognise the phone banking
and bill payment numbers and call the dial command without transfer.  For
example here in Australia most banks, bill payments and other information
services start with 13 so I match the 13 prefix in the dial plan and dial
without the transfer.
