There's a whole bunch of reasons why you might not want to answer an inbound call: - intercept messages (e.g. "the cellphone you've called is switched off") - cost reduction on 1-800 calls, although you won't get a forward audio path from the caller until you do answer it - in one case, a company for whom I'd provided some IVR (back in the 1990s) had someone mail out some tens of thousands of cards with "You owe us X - you must call this (900) number now to avoid court proceedings" on; we were able to not answer the inbound leg of the call, but still play a recorded message to the caller informing them that they could just ignore it. Had we had to answer the inbound leg, they'd have been charged. --Dave
Thanks Anthony,
There are some toll-free numbers I need to configure such that, originator does not need to charge to its users, even though they are answered on terminator side.

You can't.
Why would you need that? Are you trying to forward inbound calls from the pstn to an ivr without answering them? That could get you in trouble FYI.

Hi all,
When I dial a number from Originator Gateway, It will route to Freeswitch Server and then FS will bridge the call to Terminator Gateway as below. Terminator Answer the call (and runs playback, and look for DTMF).
|Originator Gateway|---------------> |FreeSwitch |------------------> |Terminator Gateway|
I used bridge application to route call to Terminator. But my requirement is that when Terminator answer the call (Respnd with 200OK) , Freeswitch should NOT Answer call for A leg (Originater Gateway).
How can be this done?
Thanks in advance. msp. -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/How-to-bridge-without-Answer--tp21583334p21583334.html Sent from the Freeswitch-users mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
