Asterisk: Outbound and Inbound call at the same time

Question

I am looking this use case scenario for Asterisk. I am using v 1.8 running a Centos 6.4 Linux distribution.

1.An outbound call is initiated via Asterisk

2.Both the internal extension as well as the outbound call-phone starts to ring.

1. The first person to pick up (either the internal extension or outbound call-phone) will

   hear the a pre recorded message to hold as the call is being connected to the other user

i.e: If outbound call-phone picks up first then he will be asked to hold the line while the call is being connected to internal-phone user.

Any inputs?

Answer 1

My suggestion is almost the same but a little different:

• Setup a dynamic meetme room changing the only-person message to "please hold..."
• Setup booth calls at same time to destination numbers and set the originate command application parameter as meetme

Answer 2

Create 2 calls

After connect use bridge command or conference room.
