Whether you use .call file or AMI, you should still do the call/page using a context and that context run the PHP script.

I am sorry if I repeated my question. As I see that the call file is used to generate calls, can I use this technique to page the Phones? It is one wave file only that need to be Paged for all the Phones connected on the Asterisk PBX. When I say Paging, I mean that they are going to hear the sound from the speaker (without pickup the handset). By using AMI, then I can build PHP script that will use the AMI to do the Page?
