How to make internal calls ring differently from external ones

wiseoldowl's picture

Every so often I see someone ask whether it's possible to make internal calls have a distinctive ring from external ones. I thought it would not be that difficult, but I was wrong. Let's say that you have three-digit extensions, and whenever someone calls extension 234 you want it to ring with the normal pattern if it's an external call, but with a different pattern if it's an internal call (and we assume here that the endpoint supports this). This is as far as I got - in extensions_custom.conf, I added the following at the bottom of the [from-internal-custom] context:

Direct call to extension and direct extension to call

santiagohoyos's picture

Hi,

I have a one Freepbx with a one analog card with 8 FXO ports, and we have 8 analog lines.

and I have this problem,

My boss like a special setup at 3 extension :

1. when a first line at my card ring , this call song in one specific extension directly, without pass for my IVR. This case is for 3 lines more.

2.and He like to call out our office without put a 9 before a number, but this setup is only for a same extension in part one.

Anybody can help me with this crazy requirement ?

Thanks,

Santiago Hoyos.

Problem configuring FreePBX to allow outbound calls - "all circuits are busy"

stefan24's picture

Hello,

This is my first post on this board so first hi to everyone.
I have been tasked with rebuilding Asterisk after the previous builds died.
I don't have experience in this area and am a complete newbie so I apologies if my terminology isn't exact, and I'm happy for any and all suggestions.

Now onto the problem I have set-up the system to the point where I can make internal calls between devices, but I am unable to make calls externally to a mobile device, landlines or any other destination, and when I do it Asterisk replies with "all circuits are busy".

BLOCKED caller ID

mascott43026's picture

Is it possible to block an outgoing caller id that has been spoofed? I received two calls within the past two days that came up BLOCKED. I fwd them to trapcall.com and received the number of (614) 738-xxxx. That person claims that they don't know me, but I find it hard to believe that someone would BLOCK a callerid number which happens to belong to someone who is a friend of a friend. something hokey is going on here. Is there a way to reverse a spoofed caller id to find out what SIP/IAX provider it is coming from?

FollowMe issues

isaacl's picture

Hi all.
I'm trying to set up an extension that will ring first at the extension, and then call my cell phone.
The problem is, I want the voicemail to go back to the PBXIAF system.
I tried using FollwMe on the extension.
I set the amount of time that I want it to ring, set it to hunt, and added my cell phone as 1xxxxxxxxxx#, but once it rings my cell, it won't go back to the PBXIAF voicemail.
Any ideas?
Also, are there any better ways to have it ring a cell phone when I'm not at my desk?
Thanks!

Problem with inbound calls

ggaudin's picture

Hi !

In recent days, incoming calls no longer work.
I don't have problems with outgoing calls. I haven't changed the configuration of FreePBX and I don't understand why it is not working. Here is the configuration of my inbound route:

Description: sip_name
DID Number: sip_phone_number

Set destination:
Extensions: <123> my_extension

Nothing else.

Then here is the configuration of the trunk:

General settings:
Outbound Caller ID: sip_phone_number

Outgoing settings:
Trunk Name: sip_name
PEER Details:
type=peer
username=0033XXXXXXXXX
fromuser=0033XXXXXXXXX

Custom Extension not detecting cell phone pickup

chucknb28409's picture

Hi,

I have the strangest thing happening, when I dial a custom extension that has been set up as an external number, the number dials just fine but for some reason the system never detects that the cell phone has answered and it keeps on ringing. If I dial the number directly (we dial 9 to get out) without using an extension it works just fine. In the CLI output I did notice one difference:

WHEN DIALED FROM EXTENSION
...
Executing Dial("Local/9xxxxxxx@from-internal-8cdd,2", "ZAP/g2/xxxxxxx|300|M(setmusic^none)TW") in new stack
-- Called g2/xxxxxxx
-- Zap/1-1 is ringing
