Hi, I would like to use this, but I want it to call out the same number simultaneously (I have a 10 port line so call the number specified 10 times rather than call hangup call...) and also send over DTMF eg 1 then 3. Can some one help me? [WM: Yes, but not here. Post it on the forums.]

hi,

I have found another use for this wonderful little snippet.
I have been getting calls from telemarketers auto dialers
getting a message , ""please wait, we have an important message" imagine that, a machine actully telling me verbally to wait!!!!

I set my autodialer to call back their 800 number a half million times. call, wait 3 seconds, hangup, redial. im not joking, its been running for 17 hours.
Yes, i have looked into the legal end of this.
They signed a contract to pay for all incoming calls, their machine called me first, and, its been done before. They dont have a leg to stand on. I cant wait to see the fallout from this.

To make the Idolizer work wit the latest version of AAH, I think you may need to add the g option to the Dial extension:

exten => s,4,Dial(ZAP/1/w18664365701|10|L(10000:2000:5000)&g)

At least I did.

Unrelated to this post, but have you noticed the planet asterisk site has an issue (looks like someone didn’t close a strike or del tag in on of the posts the RSS reader pulled. The planet setup may need tweaked to make sure unclosed tags don’t spill over, but that’s prob. not your problem. Just figured I’d let you know.

[WM: Thanks. I saw it, too, and sent them a note.]

Ward, Or other NerdVittles addicts...er...readers like myself. Being a relative newbie I think it would be a nice exercise to show how a script like this could accept user input. For example: After dialing 1234, maybe play the "please enter mailbox number" file, the user enters the 800 number to call and presses '#' and then that's what gets dialed. I'm trying to get a grasp on how user input into Asterisk is handled, can anyone help? Maceo [WM: There are lots of projects on Nerd Vittles that will show you how to accept user input in your dialplan. Have a look at the catalog here. Here's a code snippet from another project to get you started:]


exten => s,1,Answer
exten => s,2,Wait(1)
exten => s,3,DigitTimeout,7
exten => s,4,ResponseTimeout,7
exten => s,5,Read(NUM2CALL,vm-enter-num-to-call,10)   
exten => s,6,NoOp(${NUM2CALL})
exten => s,7,GotoIf($["foo${NUM2CALL}" = "foo"]?h,5)
exten => s,8,Background(pls-hold-while-try)
exten => s,9,Dial(local/${NUM2CALL}@from-internal)
