I am running Asterisk (1.4.x) and have a dial plan like

exten => 123456,1,Answer()
exten => 123456,2,Voicemail(Sip/345.........
...................
And I have for a specific number
(And I can see the number shows when the person call : 55555 )

I add

exten => 123456/55555,1,Answer()
exten => 123456/55555,2,dial(Sip/534....)



when the person call, he's got NO asnwering machine....
But also doens't make ring the extension ??????

Any idea why ?
Is there anybody using this feature ???

Open up an Asterisk console and type 'set verbose 5', then make some test
calls whilst watching the console output. This should give you an idea why
it's failing.

Probably.

exten => 123456/55555,1,Answer()
exten => 123456/55555,2,dial(Sip/534....)

In the above dial plan,
Prority1. You are answering the call
Prority2. You are trying to dial XXXXX extn. number

the dial plan will execute only when the call lands on the extension
"123456/55555" & based on the prority the dial plan will be executed.

Hopefully my suggestion is to try with below dialplan
exten => _X.,1,Answer()
exten => _X.,2,dial(Sip/534....)

Search that page for 'ex-girlfriend logic'.

That will *not* do what the OP is trying to do.

He's trying to route calls immediately to voicemail based on the CallerID
[where in his example, 55555 is the CallerID]. It's referred to in various
documentation as 'ex-girlfriend logic'.

Hi Guys,
Thanks for your replies..
I made some tests.
If I place a phone with the ID 55555 into the [incoming] context and
dial the extension: 123456, I effectively dial the SIP phone 534.
I suspect that my VOIPprovider, which is refernced with the extension
123456 (normally) seems NOT to be 123456, which explains why I don't
dial the extensions 534 :-(

I will try to digg up

Thanks anyway

That's why I suggested running 'set verbose 5', so you can see what number
your VoIP provider is sending. If that doesn't work, insert this

NoOp(--- ${CALLERID} calling on voip provider (${EXTEN}) ---)

somewhere early in the dialplan where you handle incoming calls.
