[asterisk-users] Assigning an extension to a roaming phone

[Axelle]

Hi Danny,

Thanks again for your help !

It looks like I'd be using Dial(SIP/...) as for other numbers I have a
macro such as this:
[macro-dialSIP]
exten => s,1,Dial(SIP/${ARG1})
exten => s,2,Goto(s-${DIALSTATUS},1)
exten => s-CANCEL,1,Hangup
etc

> line 2 plays "enter roaming number" (you have to record it)

well, I'm trying to use a pre-recorded sound.
But it does not play it.

exten => 3001,n,playback(vm-youhave)
I do have the file in /usr/share/asterisk/sounds:
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1452 2008-03-06 00:39 vm-youhave.gsm
but still it does not play it ?!

The goodbye at the end does play correctly.

I dialed 3001, then 001. It does say 001 back.
But then 4001 does not work.
