[Freeswitch-users] How to bridge without Answer?

[David Knell]

There's a whole bunch of reasons why you might not want to answer an 
inbound call:
- intercept messages (e.g. "the cellphone you've called is switched off")
- cost reduction on 1-800 calls, although you won't get a forward audio 
path from the
caller until you do answer it
- in one case, a company for whom I'd provided some IVR (back in the 
1990s) had
someone mail out some tens of thousands of cards with "You owe us X - 
you must call
this (900) number now to avoid court proceedings" on; we were able to 
not answer the
inbound leg of the call, but still play a recorded message to the caller 
informing them
that they could just ignore it.  Had we had to answer the inbound leg, 
they'd have been
charged.
