[Asterisk-Users] Call forwarding...

[Mark Benson]

Sorry for posting this again, but it seems to have become attached to 
another thread. Guess I replied to another message instead of starting a 
new one...

Hi,

I'm trying to setup a call forwarding rule so that when an extention 
doesn't answer the call is forwarded to my mobile.

I'm using voiptalk.org for incoming and outgoing calls and SIP phones 
for extentions (so all IP based - no real phone lines).

I tried this (from voip-info.org wiki)...

exten => 1234,1,dial(sip/1234,20)
exten => 1234,2,playback(pls-wait-connect-call)
exten => 1234,3,Setvar(NewCaller=${CALLERIDNUM})
exten => 1234,4,SetCIDNum(0${CALLERIDNUM})
exten => 1234,5,dial(${TRUNK}c/9871234321,20,r)
exten => 1234,6,SetCIDNum(${NewCaller})
exten => 1234,7,voicemail2(u1234 at default)
exten => 1234,101,voicemail2(b1234 at default)
exten => 1234,102,hangup

Mine looks like this...

exten => 08700688nnn,1,Dial(SIP/operator,1,t)
exten => 08700688nnn,2,playback(pls-wait-connect-call)
exten => 08700688nnn,3,Setvar(NewCaller=${CALLERIDNUM})
exten => 08700688nnn,4,SetCIDNum(0${CALLERIDNUM})
exten => 08700688nnn,5,Dial(${TRUNK}/07961106nnn,20,r)
exten => 08700688nnn,6,SetCIDNum(${NewCaller})
exten => 08700688nnn,7,Voicemail(u100)
exten => 08700688nnn,8,Hangup()
exten => 08700688nnn,101,Voicemail(b100)
exten => 08700688nnn,102,Hangup()

(where nnn is a real number)
The sip channel is set to time out quickly for testing.
And I don't appear to have the pls-wait-connect-call audio file - but 
that isn't an issue for the time being...
The IAX2/0870nnnnn is the extention/device that calls go out on via 
voiptalk... (my call provider)...
If I include the c/ in the TRUNK line I get...

Asterisk shows this from the moment the sip channel is considered not to 
have answered (1 sec)...

Again - I'm not worried about the audio file warning - I can fix that 
later... I guess this is the important bit...

The call then drops into voicemail...

I've tried various permuations but still no call is made to the mobile 
number. Any ideas?

Cheers,

Mark

I should mention that I have tried using the call forward function of 
the sip phones, but a) this means configuring the phones and some are 
remote and behind firewalls and b) It doesn't work...
