Hi; I've been using Asterisk for a few months now, and I have run into an interesting issue that I thought someone else in the community may have run into:
I have an Asterisk install set up to receive helpdesk calls, route them to several IAX extensions and an extension which is simply a forwarded call over the POTS to a cellphone, so that if no one is logged into their IAX extensions for whatever reason, the call would go to a cellphone. Ideally, I'd like it to move onto the next part of the dialplan if the cellphone isn't answered. Unfortunately, it turns out that most (if not all cellphones) have voicemail, which appears to Asterisk as though it had connected with a person, and it then connects the call. I had wanted to put in a small AGI application (or something similar) which asked for a single keypress to confirm that someone had actually picked up the phone call, but it seems as though using an AGI script would simply prompt the caller. Has anyone else had this sort of problem, and is there a way around other than creating call files and attempting to connect them with the incoming call?
