<div dir="ltr">Grant,<div><br></div><div>I have no experience specifically in what you want, but can suggest this as a strategy which seems to work in principal:</div><div><br></div><div>1) Handle the incoming call with ESL (you now have uuid_1). You can ask the caller his destination, tell him his minutes remaining, etc.</div>
<div>2) When you know the target caller number, bridge the caller (after the bridge, you still have only 1 uuid -> uuid_1).</div><div>3) When you want to make an announcement, use uuid_broadcast <uuid_1> <voice_file> both (or a separate uuid_broadcast for each leg if voice file is different for each)</div>
<div>4) Now to break apart the call for individual control, use uuid_transfer <uuid_1> -both <extension which parks> -OR- uuid_dual_transfer <uuid_1> <ALEG ext> <BLEG ext>.</div><div>Either way you now have two uuid <uuid_1> and now <uuid_2>. You can play MOH to your bleg (using uuid_2), and ask A leg for more money (using uuid_1).</div>
<div>5) Now to re-connect, use uuid_bridge <uuid_1> <uuid_2> and they are back talking (or tell uuid_2 that the call will drop, and hangup both).</div><div><br></div><div>Hope this helps, or a more experienced user can provide a better approach.</div>
