One idea:  
You can get the info from the SIP Contact header by using the PJSIP\_HEADER function. Something like this in your dialplan, for example:

```auto
...
same => n,Set(XYZ=${PJSIP_HEADER(read,Contact)})

```

Then the ${XYZ} variable would become sip:fr1crvcm@23.19.74.164:47664 as passed in the Contact header. This does not get you the “User2” portion but I imagine you could gather that some other way if needed.

`Verbose("PJSIP/User2-0000001c", "<sip:p3ngb3lu@23.19.74.164:47664;transport=ws;ob>") in new stack`  
but in my case I want get contact when dial plan recieve message and that not work  
`res_pjsip_header_funcs.c:622 func_read_header: This function requires a PJSIP channel.`

otherwise when `${CHANNEL(name)}=Message/ast_msg_queue` above error displayed and not work.

Ah, OK. Yes, there is no Contact header in the MESSAGE method, and besides, PJSIP\_HEADER does does not work since it is not a PJSIP channel…

You can get most of this info from the existing ${MESSAGE(from)} variable, however, maybe not the port and transport info that you would get from an INVITE Contact header.
