You're right--he's looking for a camp-on feature, but the campon link that you found is more of a queuing feature.
A properly-implemented camp-on feature has some advantages. The caller has full use of their phone while waiting for the call-back. They can make outgoing calls and receive incoming calls. They don't need to keep the handset to their ear or listen to music-on-hold in their headset. The called party won't be bothered by an incoming call unless the caller is actually prepared to talk to them (if you're waiting in-queue for 45 minutes, there is a .993 probability that the call will be answered in the three minutes while you duck out to go to the bathroom). --Don Don Kelly PCF Corp People Come First 651 842-1000 888 Don Kell(y) 651 842-1001 fax -----Original Message----- From: asterisk-users-boun...@lists.digium.com [mailto:asterisk-users-boun...@lists.digium.com] On Behalf Of Jeff LaCoursiere Sent: Wednesday, January 28, 2009 10:18 PM To: Asterisk Users Mailing List - Non-Commercial Discussion Subject: Re: [asterisk-users] Callback / Camp / Extention Free notify?
