[Freeswitch-users] Limit is not working when originate a call

[Anthony Minessale]

limit is for inbound calls
you cannot call it after you already made the call.
The correct approach would be to not make the call at all.

you could maybe use the limit FSAPI interface with apiExecute to check if
the limit was exceeded and
then not bother to place the call to begin with.

otherwise it's sort of like putting a prisoner in the electric chair then
giving him his trial.
