[HELP] Bypass Asterisk in call forwarding

Asterisk Asterisk General
1

I am new to asterisk. I am working on call forwarding. I could successfully setup call forwarding from one extension to another.I could also forward calls to an external cell phone. But, every time a call is forwarded it hits my Asterisk box and Asterisk has to forward it. I would like to know if there is a way to bypass Asterisk when a call is forwarded. Something like, I configure my asterisk to send a message to service provider so that he can take care of the forwarding, and send another message when we want handle the calls ourselves?

I have gone through the forum, I couldn’t find answer to my question. Any help would be appreciated.

Assuming you are talking about SIP (usual case for people who fail to say) there are answers on the forum.

Transfer before answer is rather different from that after it.

Looking on the right forum may have helped. General is for discussions, not questions.

The very important thing is that your provider has support for this call flow. Not all have …
