[Asterisk-Users] "Please Press Any Key to Accept a Call"

[Will Glass-Husain]

Hi,

I'd like to add a feature to my asterisk system that tries to find a user among a couple of locations, and then goes to internal voicemail if the user doesn't pick up.  (e,g, an internal extension and a cell phone).  The catch is that I want the user to manually accept the call to prevent it from going (for example) to the voice mail on my cell phone.  

Scenario
* Call comes in, outside caller dials "100"
* Desk phone for user Joe rings.  No answer
* Joe's house phone rings.  
* Joe's wife picks up and hears a voice "Please press any key to accept a call for extension 100."  
* Joe's wife hangs up.
* Joe's cell phone rings.  
* Joe picks up and hears a voice "Please press any key to accept a call for extension 100."
* Joe presses 1 and says "Hello this is Joe".

Alternately, in the penultimate step
* Cell voice mail picks up.  
* Voice says "Please press any key to accept a call for extension 100".  No keys pressed since it's a voice mail
* Call is routed to Asterisk voicemail.

It seems straight forward to try multiple locations, but I'm not seeing how to only patch the call through if the user responds with a key press.

Thanks,
WILL
