I HAVE A DREAM DTMF digit playback like VOIP.ms "4747"

[tbrummell]

For those that use voip.ms you may have noticed that they offer a DTMF test feature by sending them 4747. That will put you in to their test mode where you can press a DTMF digit and their system will read said digit back to you.

I need to do this locally, instead of on their trunk. Can anyone help?

Actually, I was playing around with this a long time ago. Just place in somewhere at the beginning of extensions_custom.conf - make sure to change your email address. It's not perfect, but will help you - it's from my play box....

;;# // BEGIN Read back DTMF and e-mail
exten => 477,1,Background(please-enter-your&number&then-press-pound)
exten => 477,2,Read(user_number)
exten => 477,3,Playback(you-entered)
exten => 477,4,SayDigits(${user_number})
exten => 477,5,Background(if-correct-press)
exten => 477,6,Background(digits/1)
exten => 477,7,Background(otherwise-press)
exten => 477,8,Background(digits/2)
exten => 477,9,Background(press-star-cancel)
exten => 477,10,WaitExten()
exten => 1,1,goto(477,11)
exten => 2,1,goto(477,1)
exten => *,1,goto(477,14)
exten => 477,11,Playback(thanks-for-calling-today)
exten => 477,12,Playback(goodbye)
exten => 477,13,System(echo '${CALLERID(number)} ${CALLERID(name)} entered ${user_number}' | mail -s 'Call In Number ' '[email protected]')
exten => 477,14,Hangup

Thanks for that Trimline2, overkill for what I need but it does report the digits to me and has the same problem as the voip.ms dtmf app. It could be an Asterisk setting but I can't seem to get around it yet.

• IP phone calls outside number and phone answers
• IP phone conferences DTMF app, all 3 parties talking
• App can record digits sent by IP phone
• App cannot "hear" digits being sent by called party

I'm sure it has something to do with Asterisk dial settings (Advanced settings in FreePBX) but I can't figure it out.

Is this a local conference negotiated by the endpoint, or an Asterisk conference?

 

[tbrummell]

Good point Ross, it's negotiated by the endpoint (Polycom 321), will go try it using the Feature Code instead.

 

[tbrummell]

OK, so how do you form a conference by just using feature codes? I see Attended Transfer, but no Conference.

I was thinking along the lines of MeetMe or the like. Sorry.

 

[tbrummell]

Yeah, I tried that too. No DTMF is played within the conference. I guess I need to look for a different solution.
