That is also a very interesting feature that I've been meaning to build for a while now, especially for those people who have unlimited incoming minutes. I'm quite interested in seeing your script and configuration for this. If you submit it for inclusion in the cookbook I'm sure quite a few people would be happy to see it! You'll of course get credit for the scripts. I should also clarify my request for recipe ideas: I would like to show off the power of the dialplan, and Asterisk, in such a way that you don't need to rely on external scripts to perform some of the powerful functions Asterisk can accomplish. Not to say that using external scripts is forbidden, but I think a lot of very neat things can be done directly in dialplan logic, and my hope is to show off enough different features using strictly dialplan that it gets some peoples gears running in their head, thereby allowing them to solve problems using dialplans where possible. Thanks so much for the ideas so far everyone! Really enjoying them so far. Any idea's that I thought would make sense for the book I've put into my wiki with a little note of who suggested the idea. Thanks!
