Technically, loopback is not meant to specifically allow you to call non-user extensions, it simply allows you to hit the dialplan.

For example,

originate sofia/gw/gwname/fakecall 1000

(where gwname is the gateway routing your calls out, and 'fakecall' the non-user extension)

will also allow you to dial to non-user extensions. This information would be on any of the wiki pages detailing the originate command.

Yeah, it's there but, as you can see it from the google queries below it's not easy to find that page - unless you know what exactly you are looking for and search for "loopback". A simple example (i.e. in Sofia Syntax) would fill the gap (I'll be happy to do it ASAP)

Also, this email now shows up first in googling for "non user extension freeswitch" (which were the keywords I was looking for). I think this has been useful! ;)

Many thanks and regards,

I found the answer by myself while I had finished writing the e-mail. The correct call url is loopback/<extension> (in this case the command is originate loopback/fakecall 1000 ).  I'm sending the e-mail anyway for future reference (can't find any example of that anywhere). Is the project wiki accesible for anyone to contribute or do I have to ask for an authorization?

All you need to do is sign up for a free account on the wiki and you can start editing. It's a community resource and all FS users are invited to add their respective knowledge.

As for not finding what you were looking for, does this page not have it?
http://wiki.freeswitch.org/wiki/Loopback

If not then please feel free to add to this page whatever your specific scenario entails and give some examples.
