[Asterisk-Users] Asking for phone number to dial

[undrhil.1528785 at bloglines.com]

I just realized that I came up with a way to use DISA and still allow for
voicemail-like activity.  Set background() to play your greeting and then
program in an exten with 9 which would then point you to your DISA dialtone.
 If the caller doesn't press 9, have them go to the general "leaving a message"
stage or whatever you want to do with real callers.

The number "dialed" after Background is stored in the EXTEN variable
and can be used in the Dial application.
