I have had good luck with this: exten => 1000,1,SetCallerID(YourMessageHere)
works fine on my phones (Snoms) but the problem there is that SetCallerID only works from the perspective of the callee. A hack might be to make a .call file that the user instantiates from a web page that calls the extension and then bridges the contexta to voicemail, then SetCallerID would work (or caller ID in the .call file itself) Otherwise, something like that would have to be provided by the phone itself or pushed out-of-band to the phone (Ciscos can do this, can't they?) -----Original Message----- From: Andy Vega [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, September 12, 2005 2:33 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [Asterisk-Users] CallerID Name in dialplan Is it possible to show CallerID names for dialplan applications? When I call from phone-to-phone, it shows the CallerID from sip.conf or iax.conf, but I don't know of any way to show CallerID Name when I call the extension for an application (voicemail for example): exten => 1000,1,Answer exten => 1000,n,VoicemailMain I'd like the display to read "VOICE MAIL" when I dial extension 1000. _______________________________________________ --Bandwidth and Colocation sponsored by Easynews.com -- Asterisk-Users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
