c# - Asterisk click to call

Question

Maybe some of you may know how to achieve this. I want something like this:

1. Click on link/button
2. My phone rings, I pick it up
3. Asterisk dials number for me
4. Recipient phone rings

I'm using asterisk 1.2.

I tried with dial out. But only I can make is to call to one side.

Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

You can use call files. Just read: Asterisk auto-dial out.

I have made simple CGI script that called via web server creates call file (remember to use temp directory) and then moves it to /var/spool/asterisk/outgoing and Asterisk do rest of the work. From user perspective it works as you described. Also remember to normalize phone numbers (on my web pages they can have spaces, hyphens etc, while in call file they must look as dialable numbers).
