You're holding it wrong. There are several ways to accomplish this, the easiest is to play all sound files with one Read, like:
Read(fwdto,call-fwd-unconditional&please-enter-the&digits/11&digit&/igc/sounds/destination&telephone-number,11,,1,6) If you can't play all the sound files with one Read, then use WaitExten and Background: exten => s,1,Noop(Switch Manager IVR) same => n,Answer same => n,Ringing same => n,Wait(1) same => n,Set(LOCAL(count)=0) same => n,While($[${count} < 4]) same => n,Set(count=$[${count}+1]) same => n,Background(please-enter-the&/igc/sounds/destination&number) same => n,WaitExten(5) same => n,EndWhile() same => n,Playback(goodbye) -----Original Message----- From: asterisk-dev-boun...@lists.digium.com [mailto:asterisk-dev-boun...@lists.digium.com] On Behalf Of Jonathan White Sent: Friday, April 25, 2014 3:12 PM To: asterisk-dev@lists.digium.com Subject: [asterisk-dev] Function Read - Timeout Just a quick suggestion to enhance function Read. I am using function read in places to provide options to skip announcements or provide hidden features. However the minimum timeout is 1 second which puts an unnatural pause in the flow of announcements when not skipping. It would be great if there was a parameter not to wait for digits. Possible?
