[asterisk-users] Call Back on Busy

[Ron]

Hi All,

One of our user asked the question, when she tries to call another local
extension but the other end is engaged she will keep on trying until she
finally can get thru. So she asked would it be possible to request for
an auto-callback from the user she's trying to call to once it's not
engaged anymore. is this possible on asterisk? what is that feature
called? i am using asterisk 1.4 with freepbx. Thanks in advance.

Regards
Ron

That function in the telephony world is called "camp-on"

Can't say for sure if Asterisk can do that, not which version, nor freepbx

It should not be too hard to write some dialplan code that detects the busy, plays a sound file asking if you want to camp-on to the called device, read an answer and loop around checking device status and placing a call when both the calling device and called device are free.

thanks for all the reply. now that i know what it's called should be
easy to find something on the net.

btw, the URL below did not load anything on my side...it seems like it's
connected somewhere but just downloading slow, but thanks for it anyway.

regards
Ron
