Re: [asterisk-users] Follow-me challengeWhat you can do is have the called person press a digit to accept the call. If the user dosent then you can set the h extension to update the call logs

  Sorry, didn't realize you were sending the call out on a Zap channel.

  Yes, as soon as the call goes out a Zap channel it is "answered" as far as Asterisk is concerned.  I send out all my findme traffic via SIP.

      Is the problem just when you don't answer the cell phone?  Many cell phones go to a voice announcement when they're turned off or not answered, and Asterisk thinks the call has been answered. The other issue could be that your gateway (asterisk1) is answering the call before the outbound leg is answered.  One workaround would be to use a macro that requires you to press a key to accept the call on your cell.  (See the M option to the dial command and http://www.voip-info.org/wiki/view/Asterisk+tips+findme) <http://www.voip-info.org/wiki/view/Asterisk+tips+findme%29> 

      Also, I see that you're using the r option - you might want to drop that.

      I'm also not convinced that it will ever find 102,107 in your dialplan.  You might want to look at using ${DIALSTATUS} and making it a bit more explicit.

      Cheers,
      Eric


    Dropped the r option and line 107. 
    The M option had the same result. 
    Based on another comment :

    Is your other server patching through to a Zap channel (analog)? 
    If so, as soon as the dial goes out, an analog Zap channel is considered
    "answered", which could be your issue.

    Doesn't sound like follow-me will work properly with an analog trunk
