[asterisk-users] Simple Call Screener

[MFH]

This is what I use.  The Read does have a default timeout but you should 
be able to put your own.

extensions.conf:

   exten => 
s,n(dial),Dial(SIP/sipura2_1&SIP/sipura1_1&SIP/sipura2_2&SIP/spa942_3&SIP/aastra480_3,20,mtTM(screen))
   exten => s,n(vmail),Voicemail(123 at default)


[macro-screen]

   exten => s,1,Wait(0.2)
   exten => s,n,Read(ACCEPT,screen-callee-options,1)
   exten => s,n,GotoIf($[${ACCEPT} = 1]?ok:cont)
   exten => s,n(ok),Noop
   exten => s,s+2(cont),Set(MACRO_RESULT=CONTINUE)




> I'm trying to build a simple accept/reject screening app for inbound calls that * forwards to my cell phone.  Basically I want * to announce the caller ID and then let me press 1 to accept the call or 2 to reject the call and send the outside party to voicemail.
