[Freeswitch-users] Dial multiple users for "conference" call

[Michael Nielsen]

Hi Bote,

Thank you so much for all your detailed info. That helped a lot and solved
almost everything.

Final question... When I use the <action
application="conference_set_auto_outcall" data="loopback/293234"/>, doesn't
loopback means that it's try and dial 293234 from a matching dial plan
already existing within my FreeSWITCH?

The case is, that I've got a dial plan recognising expression="^(\d{3,20})$"
etc.
And if a number doesn't contain a valid country code I'll append it
automatically according to the subscriber who initiate the calls.
So my subscriber for example has a variable set country_code = +44. When I
dial something it appends +44 if there is no country code.

This works if I call something else than my conference dial plan, but when
calling the conference dial plan and using loopback it doesn't work.

Does it make sense and can you help?
