Hi Danny,

Thanks again for your help !


<snip>

> 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.

** vm-goodbye is in /usr/share/asterisk/sounds?

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

I doubt you have an extension 001 in your list (the number 4001 is trying to
dial).  Is the ${ROAM} trying to reach an in-house extension or an outside
number?
