Re: [on-asterisk] Comwave Callback and Similar
Hi,All!
I've implemented callback to cellphone using asterisk-java and it is running
on tomcat for almost a year (I can share the war file and sources) but one
big BUT in usability - I hate typing the phone numbers by hand after asterisk
calls back - especially those ones I rarely use and do not remember. Thanks to
Nokia there are very usefull feature send touch tones available in call
menu of N95 so the number can be selected from Address book and sent as touch
tones.
Anyway it still sucks.
Ideally I'd like to be able to select the contact and request the call back
right from the Contact menu and the phone having a data plan can send short
IP message (http request, SOAP message) to initiate call back and if you pick
up it dials the Contact's number (or sip url for VoIPs sake)
So I am planing to dive into Symbian development - and implement the thing ;-)

the phone one would have to be on the phone first! :)

WEll, this is what i have but it doesn't hang up.

1. You set up a SIP or IAX Trunk (if you don't have one already)
2. Create a CallBack (can choose to Call a fixed number or the CID
of the Call Back number after x secs)
3. Create a DISA (with return of dial tone if you need it)
4. Create an incoming route for the specific DID and CID combo of
the trunk and cell phone.
5. Have this incoming call route guided to your callback module
6. Have your CallBack module route the call to your DISA module
Takes about 2-3 munuites to set up
Call Flow:
416NXX ---CallBack--- Hang-up---10sec.delay---
CallBack(416NXX)---answer
call---DISA--Internal Dial tone --- Dial-out as per outgoing dial
plan---Hang-up (with possible return
to new DISA)
Using config files you will need to make sure you have the latest
DISA and Callback lib functions and that
your dial plan will trigger the Callback on a specific DID and CID
combo (it's a whole lot more work)
Hope this helps H

It's great if you have a cell phone with an unlimited incoming plan.
You simply call your VoIP line number (DID) from your cell phone and
route
the call to do a Call-Back based on the CID (of your cell phone)
The * system doesn't answer the call so you won't get charged for
the call.
After 10 secs it calls me back with DISA dial tone. I can then dial
any number
I like at the VoIP call rate. The lastest version of FreePBX can
even return dial tone to make another
call without going through dialing a call back again.
Trust me ..this one is very cool!

Hello Everyone,
In the past few months Comwave has been advertising about a sort of
CALLBACK/DISA combination for
$20/month. Can anyone speculate as to what sort of equipment/
solution they use to achieve their goal? Even
if they sign up 100k clients that is still a lot of calls knowing
every call is actually two calls going
through their system and then bridged. Do they use an Asterisk SER
farm? Do they use some propriety
equipment like VPS, MERA, etc...?

RE: [on-asterisk] Comwave Callback and Similar
Hello Bill, Thanks for the feedback. Can you be a bit more specific please? What sort of solutions are out there that you may think do good with let's say 20,000 simultaneous calls. I am assuming the many different platforms that you mention are not a single switch but a collaboration of several different equipments that make this possible?! I am really interested in hearing about a successful case even if it involves an Asterisk/SER farm sort of thing. But rather like to hear of platforms that are proven to work and are made for the specific reason. Not looking to spend many many hours on developing a solution from scratch at all. Need to know specifics of the equipments.
