Simple... > Do-able? Easy... :) > Is there a much easier way to accomplish it? Don't create it as an asterisk app, create it as an AGI... The .call file makes asterisk place a call to your AGI script, then your AGI script makes whatever calls it needs to, playing various prompts, receiving DTMF answers, and so on, until it has successfully delivered the message, or given up.... It could even, as a last resort, send a few SMS messages, and then email messages before totally giving up.
