[asterisk-users] What is the best way to campaign dial 5000 numbers? Spool files or AMI actions?

[asterisk jobs]

Thanks for the input but using spool files or AMI or AGI is way different

on with all methods like I noted but want to know what the trend is
now-a-days and what is more robust and proven out of all three.

Best,
