Hi I am running this script: session.answer(); var fd = new File("temp.txt"); var buff = fd.read(10); console_log("notice","\nYou are trying to reach "+buff+"\n"); route = "sofia/gateway/net4india/"+buff; session.execute("bridge", route); session.waitForAnswer(5000); console_log("notice", "Disconnect cause: " + session.cause + "\n"); Freeswitch does get the number, originates a new hannel for it but it pre-answers the call !!!! I am not able to figure out why?!!!! if I read DTMF and bridge the call I.e. route = "sofia/gateway/net4india" + dtmf.digits; session.execute("bridge", route); It works perfectly fine!
