&gt; Hi all,<br>
&gt; I want have DTMF input from user without answering the call (i.e. in<br>
&gt; session<br>
&gt; progress).<br>
&gt; I used Read application for this, but it is not working as it is<br>
&gt; intended to<br>
&gt; be.<br>
&gt; It is only accepting one DTMF from the user and the channel gets<br>
&gt; hang up.<br>
&gt; Am I missing something?<br>
&gt; Here is the dialplan that I used for this:<br>
&gt; &lt;action application=&quot;read&quot; data=&quot;0 2<br>
&gt; $${base_dir}/sounds/en/us/callie/conference/8000/conf-pin.wav res<br>
&gt; 10000 #&quot;/&gt;<br>
&gt; &lt;action application=&quot;phrase&quot; data=&quot;spell,${res}&quot;/&gt;<br>
&gt; The phrase application is used to check user input.<br>
