I thought I'd ask this, just in case I'm wrong. We're trying to set up
'remote' users via asterisk. Basically all there is to this is asterisk
forwarding a DID to a cell phone. My question is this: Is there any
possible way for our local asterisk box to setup the connection and the
drop out so that our bandwidth isn't being used for the call? I really
don't think this is at all possible but I thought I would double check.
Perhaps with the cooperation of your DID provider?
You can do this if your trunks are PRI, and your carrier supports TBCT
(two B-channel transfer)... or whatever they're calling it these days.
I saw this feature documented in the NT DMS-100 feature planning guide
as much as 10 years ago; I assume a) it's still available and b)
carriers have finally started to roll it out. :-)
But at least you know what to ask for.
Remember you won't get call-detail on those calls.
Last time I checked... the PRI providers that my customers are using
*do* support TBCT. However, the last time I checked, Asterisk did not.
Maybe things for Asterisk have changed, though.
