[asterisk-users] Customisable In-band ringing?

[Jon Pounder]

Quoting Ray Jackson <ray at jacksonz.net>:


hey, why not just play a wav or mp3 of the other person talking instead of
actually placing a call at all ? Wouldn't that be even cooler ? :)

reminds me of the old "dial 811 to hear a duck quack" - someone with too much
time on their hands.
