Hello everyone.

This is an other question from a relatively newbie.

I'd like to provide auto callback ability for my *. From my mobile I want to be able to call a number on the * and have it call me back on my mobile. I know how to generate a .call file from a script and I know how to call a script from the dialplan (in order to get the .call file generated). I also found the scripts on www.voip-info.org on "callback voicemail" but what I want is not voicemail. I just want to talk to the * and use it's much lower
rates!

What I do not know is what to write in that call file so I'll get an IVR when I answer the phone, not Voicemail or an other channel. It seems that call files are designed to connect one channel to an other channel or one channel to an application. But I don't want to connect to an application like Voicemail, I want the system to behave as if I called the other way
around and ended up into an arbitrary context.

I think you can get what you want using the 'local' channel.

I have a call file with:

Channel: Local/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
MaxRetries: 5
RetryTime: 300
WaitTime: 45
Context: serverdown
Extension: s
Priority: 1

which effectively 'bridges' 2 arbitrary parts of the dialplan:
exten 60 in the default context
and
exten s in the serverdown context

Hope that helps.

Tim.
