[asterisk-users] API Originate Action - distinguishing between NoAnswer and Invalid phone number

[Roi Stork]

${DIALSTATUS} is set only after hangup, try adding the NoOp() line to your
'h' (hangup) extension like this:

exten => h,1,NoOp(${DIALSTATUS})
...

This is how I get the status of the call attempt, whether it's done through
Originate or just plain manual dialing.
