[Asterisk-Users] Asking for phone number to dial

[Anthony Cennami]

Where there is a will, there's a way:

Assuming you only had one DID, you could:

- Use an auto attendant
- Use a dialplan timeout that dropped to DISA (not so nice)
- Use callerid based redirection (again, not so nice, but available)
- Use a Voicemail breakout option (again, not so nice, but better than
timeout)
- Use a ToD based extension

Probably a variety of other options, depending on the
application/requirements/costs/etc.
