Other than avmd or a 25-30 second timeout, you can use answer confirmation so that the recipient has to press a key to prove they are answering.

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 2nd 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 2nd.

But being redirected to voicemail actually answers the call and the 2nd 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
