[Asterisk-Users] Announcement to caller when called party has picked up - without initial Answer()?

[David Liu]

This is super easy to do.  All you need to do is to put that announcement in 
a MP3 and set a musiconhold class for that incoming Zap channel. Then 
basically when ever that PSTN number rings, Asterisk will play the MP3 
stream "Your call may be monitored or recorded, please hangup if you do not 
agree...etc" in a loop until the line is answered.  Caller doesn't pay a 
single dime to listen to your announcement(s).  So now you have announcement 
on ringing!
