[asterisk-users] Retain call control: Avoid letting call get

[Philippe Lindheimer]

Take a look at freepbx 2.2 beta. We have made both ringgroups and follow-me have a call confirmation option. When used, the ringgroup/follow-me extensions that are outside lines (like your cell phone) must confirm they want the call (press 1 to accept, 2 to decline). All the while the caller hears ringing (or MoH if chosen). If no answer, they are sent on to where ever else you want them to go (like asterisk vm, or ...)
   
  So it does what you are asking, if you don't care for freepbx, you can look at the dialplan it generates and get some good ideas. (It basically does what Dovid mentions).

  You can create a macro that the person that is called has to press a key to take the call. If no key is pressed then you can send them to a menu where they can press one to leave a message or two to go back to the menu.

I have a dial plan that allows a caller can try my cell phone.  And that's fine.  If the call cannot be made, it sends caller back to voice menu. 

However, I'd like a way for the caller to elect to go back to the voice menu, if they end up getting the cell phone voice mail.  Is that possible?
