Hello,
I am attempting to generate a message to convert to speech and send it out to my users. I am a newbie but I am just not getting it after reading through the documentation. In testing it works fine when sending to my voip connected users using the following:

bgapi originate {ignore_early_media=true,originate_timeout=60}sofia/internal/1001 &playback(/usr/local/freeswitch/sounds/warning.wav)

however, when I dial a cell phone as below it rings the phone but immediately hangs up before playing the message. Is there something obvious I am doing wrong?

bgapi originate {ignore_early_media=true,originate_timeout=60}sofia/gateway/sip.startec.com/14431112222 &playback(/usr/local/freeswitch/sounds/warning.wav)

and then the follow up question is do I need bridge the call in the dialplan like so?

 <!-- Dial 11 digit number via startec -->
    <extension name="outbound">
     <condition field="destination_number" expression="^(\d{11})$">
      <!--<action application="set" data="effective_caller_id_number=4439951026"/>-->
      <!-- <action application="answer"/>
      <action application="playback" data="/usr/local/freeswitch/sounds/warning.wav"/>
        -->
      <!--<action application="speak" data="cepstral|david|Please hold this is a test"/> -->
      <action application="bridge" data="sofia/gateway/sip.startec.com/$1@xx.xx.xx.xx:5061"/>
     </condition>
    </extension>
