This is the classic way of building an tiered dialling rule hierarchy, create the most restrictive context, then use ‘include’ to add more and more allowed numbers. (more…)

There comes a time with Asterisk, when you encounter a problem which can’t be solved with clever dial plan logic but you don’t want to wheel out AGI just yet. Over the next while, I’ll be posting some work I’ll be doing with ‘func_odbc’, a handy little feature of Asterisk that lets you query databases using SQL templates and ODBC.
