[asterisk-users] PRI TBCT - Practical Experience, Anybody?

[Don Kelly]

1. The carrier you are connected to must be licensed for it and have the
necessary software, if the carrier requires, your circuit(s) must be
provisioned for it. The originating/destination carriers shouldn't matter.

2. Both incoming and outgoing calls can be transferred to a second outgoing
call; I think it's theoretically possible to connect two incoming calls, but
I haven't done that.

3. This may rely on your carrier. My carrier allows me to include anything I
choose as outbound ANI--I don't abuse it.

4. To the best of my knowledge, the originating caller and destination can
be anywhere in the world.

Your scenario sounds workable to me.

My experience (non-Asterisk) is using NI2 on DMS and 5E switches in North
America. Carrier personnel are generally unfamiliar with TBCT and your
initial installation will probably involve a little frustration.

I may have to do some work with TBCT, and probably cross-carrier TBCT,
here shortly, and I haven't ever worked with it.  If anyone on the list
ever has, I'd be interested to know:

	1) Only the carrier first involved with the call has to
	actually be provisioned for it, correct?

	2) Both incoming and outgoing calls can be TBCT'd?

	3) If a placed call is transferred to me via TBCT, can I get
	the DN of the original target call sent to me as CNID?

	4) Does it, in fact, matter if the call placer, and the TBCT
	target, are on the same IXC?

	I want someone to place calls for me, talk to the people for a
	while, and then do an unsupervised transfer to me wherein I can
	capture the other party's number off the call itself and feed
	the calls into my VICIdial/Asterisk instance.

	All my incoming lines are Zap/PRI.

Cheers,
