[Freeswitch-users] Park an incoming call without answering it?

[Anthony Cosgrove]

You are not going to get very far doing this.

1. You would run afoul of billing (your provider would not be happy) which goes into the next point
2. Your provider will probably have a cap as to the length of time you can keep a channel unanswered (in 183 state) and pass early media.

How long is the calling party to stay in a ringing state? All I can think of at this point is to throw your caller into mod_fifo and keep them in a queue until you are ready to take the call.
