SayNumber() gets reorder tone

Asterisk Asterisk Support
1

Hi noob here.

I installed asterisk 1.8.4 on Debian 6.1. All prerequisite has been installed. I am following the “Asterisk Definitive Guide” and running into an issue with using the SayNumber application.

exten => 202,1,Set(MagicNumber=42)
same => n,SayNumber(${MagicNumber})

From x-lite when I dial the exten 202 I get a reorder tone saying " the person you are calling is unavaiable please try again."

On the x-lite display is shows: call failed: Declined

This is what the Asterisk CLI displays

At a guess, because the incoming network won’t allow to provide early media. You will probably have to answer the call first.

The dial plan is working exactly as expected, You may if you want to hear it answer the channel,

and you way want to do something with the call after saying the digits other wise it does as you see ‘fail’

But the issue you are having is more your expectation of what you are expecting, and not what is happening as that is correct

AH! your right!

After adding: same => n,Answer() and Hangup() it worked like i wanted it too!

Before:

exten => 202,1,Set(MagicNumber=42)
same => n,SayNumber(${MagicNumber})

After:

exten => 202,1,Set(MagicNumber=42)
same => n,Answer()
same => n,SayNumber(${MagicNumber})
same => n,Hangup()

The call to 202 will answer, say the number and then hangup

thanks!!!
