[WISPA] OT: Automated Call System
I need to setup an automated call system. One where someone dials in and activates it (by entering a touch-tone code) and then it goes through a list of numbers it dials and plays a pre-recorded message. Any hints, tips, suggestions, software recommendations, or other advice will be greatly appreciated.

Re: [WISPA] OT: Automated Call System
Bill, Are you talking about an Auto Attendant that can provide precanned messages for callers like a call center does? For example, your cellular providers's support center will make you key in various option codes to talk to the correct department. If that's what you're looking for, use Asterisk PBX. It's an open-source PBX server. see http://voip-info.org/wiki/index.php?page=Asterisk http://www.digium.com/ I can help you set up a server, if needed.

Re: [WISPA] OT: Automated Call System
So you want something that calls out to a list of numbers right? You can get the software that the new automated telemarketers are using. I have seen it several times but I do not remember where. It basically calls a list of numbers and plays a pre recorded message.

I need a system that I can enter a list of numbers (won't change often-mostly cell phones), and once a night have it call the list of numbers and play a message. I can work with a pre-recorded message where I just call in and activate the sequence. I would prefer to be able to call in each night and leave a new message, and then have it call each number and replay the message. I'm sure asterisk would do this, but is probably overkill for my needs. I'm looking for something simple to setup and administer, so that down the road I can turn it over to someone else to maintain the list. I have an older PC and a voice-capable modem that I can use for this. I can also give it a public IP so it can be administered from anywhere.

Re: [WISPA] OT: Automated Call System
Bill, Yeah, of course Asterisk can do that. You could buy a turn-key system and have that be part of it's features. You could use it for that solely. I see that there are online services which are pay per use as well. I just noticed http://www.notifyquick.com/howto/canned_call.asp Here's a product that allows you to use your voicemodem for $300, or even free, if you don't mind a Voicent plug in a ddition to your message and have only 20 numbers. http://www.voicent.com/autodialers.php Brian Bill Austin wrote: Hi Brian, I'm actually looking for something not quite as complex.

Re: [WISPA] OT: Automated Call System
Bill, Not sure if you got my offlist email, but you can go to www.tavoca.com and look at their GroupCall product. Does exactly what you need it to do. Friend of mine runs this company and will do great for what you want. - Original Message - From: Bill Austin [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: WISPA General List wireless@wispa.org; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, March 07, 2006 1:54 PM Subject: Re: [WISPA] OT: Automated Call System Hi Brian, I'm actually looking for something not quite as complex.
