<div dir="ltr"><div><div><div>The answer why I want to do this is much simpler than you might think. Here in Germany there are laws: one is not allowed to have callcenter-queues and the caller has to pay for that. But if you answer the call in freeswitch for inserting the caller into a queue, the caller has to pay for this right in this moment.<br>
<br>I know that I am not able to play some music with this solution but the ringing would be enough for me and the callers. Simulating the ringback is just a dirty hack and is not a solution for the paypment problem.<br><br>
</div>So, at the moment no chance to realise this out of the box with mod_fifo?<br><br></div>Best,<br></div>Michael<br><div class="gmail_extra"><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">2014-07-17 21:20 GMT+02:00 Michael Jerris <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:mike@jerris.com" target="_blank">mike@jerris.com</a>></span>:<br>

<div dir="ltr"><div class="gmail_extra">Hi Brian, </div><div class="gmail_extra"><br></div><div class="gmail_extra">I have setups that actually use this feature in Asteirsk Queues. It's used for internal hotlines in enterprise PBX. The user controls the PBX so staying in RINGING for a minute or is no problem. Usually the calls are connected to an agent much much faster, if it is in ringing too long the call is escalated to another queue which actually answers the call and plays music. So for most callers it doesn't look&feel like they are connected to an ACD, which is perceived as annoying by users. </div>
<div class="gmail_extra"><br></div><div class="gmail_extra">And it doesn't help to just simulate ringing, it doesn't look/feel the same on sip phones.</div><div class="gmail_extra"><br></div><div class="gmail_extra">
So yeah, there are use cases for that, although I don't need it in Freeswitch right now. I'd probably write something that uses event socket to control/distribute calls if I need more/stranger things than mod_fifo or mod_callcenter can do. </div>

<div dir="ltr">Why would you want ot do that? The time a call can sit in that no answer state is very limited once you're in the queue still not answered your provider could end the call with a fast busy, Is it just the ringing you wish to simulate or what?</div>
