[asterisk-users] Asterisk Dial Plan to Play Message

[Steve Totaro]

If you are using phones attached to a ZAP FXS port the immediate=yes 
will work. Otherwise, some SIP phones (Grandstream for instance) allows 
you to enter an autodial number. It depends on what is providing the 
dialtone to the handset. If your device does not support autodial, then 
the next best thing is to do what has already been suggested.

OR

[somecontext]
exten=s,1,answer
exten=s,2,Authenticate(insertdigitshere)
exten=s,3,(continue with a real dialplan)

Change the corresponding authenticate gsm file to say what you want 
about contacting the boss.

This gives the impression that phone is restricted for outbound calling 
but if you enter the authenticate string, you can dialout for 
emergencies or convenience.

Thanks,
Steve
