[Asterisk-Users] Read Back Caller ID Using Number Announcement in Digital Receptionist

Go edit your auto attendant menu and add an option. Set this option to
call a custom app named "custom-saycallerid,s,1"

Go in Maintenance->Config Edit. click on the file
"extensions_custom.conf". In this file, at the end, add this code

[custom-saycallerid]
exten => s,1,Playback(yourcalleridis)
exten => s,2,SayDigits(${CALLERIDNUM})
exten => s,3,Hangup

N.B.: you will have to make a sound named "yourcalleridis" or you
could use festival
