[Freeswitch-users] play_and_get_digits - why is minimum 1 digit?

[Nathan Neulinger]

That seems like a hack though if I leave a 3 second delay to allow them to slowly punch in a phone number or PIN/etc.

    Call -> 1 2 3 4 # -> move to next
    Call -> wait wait wait wait wait wait <timeout> -> move to next
vs
    Call -> # -> move to next
