[Asterisk-Users] new to Asterisk, is it possible to call two external lines and connect them using two channels

[Tom Hayden]

I'm afraid that you're going to have to incur the cost of the call if
you are calling both parties then bridging the call.  Otherwise, there
would be no-one to bill.  Besides, your box is going to be the one
doing the bridging.
