Group call would fix this, but I’d like to know if there’s another way which does not require any manual input from the destination being called.

Subject: [Freeswitch-users] Bridge failover and voicemail

Hello,

Let’s say I’m executing the following dialplan:

<action application="bridge" data="sofia/external/9998881000@sip.yourprovider.com"/>

<action application="bridge" data="sofia/external /9998882000@sip.yourprovider.com"/>

This would cause the 2^nd bridge to be executed when the first bridge fails. But what if the first bridge redirects to Voicemail, because the destination didn’t reply in time, rejects the call or is busy?

In case of the user not responding; a timeout could be used to cancel the bridge and have it automatically failover to the 2^nd.

But being redirected to voicemail actually answers the call and the 2^nd bridge is never executed.

Is there a way to detect voicemail when using the bridge application, or do I need to use the avmd module to fix this?

Regards,

Grant
