Hi, any ideas how to setup a asterisk to automatically dial a calling card and its pin number? What I want is to set up a rechargeable prepaid calling card and its PIN number so I just have to dial a destination number after I pick up the phone. Thank you.

Look at Dial() option parameter

• D(digits): After the called party answers, send digits as a DTMF stream, then connect the call to the originating channel.

You might have problems if the codec is anything but G.711u
or G.711a since I assume this option uses InBand DTMF tones (haven't looked at the code for apps/app_dial.c yet).

See ya...

Thanks a lot, MR. Chandave, but I still have a problem: when a extension dial out the number it doesn't give enough time to enter the PIN number. I need a break ou pause command to put in between the number to dial and the pin number to be dialed as dtmf tone. If you have a chance to spare a min for me, I really apreciate. Thank you.

Did you try adding 'w' into your dial string as suggested in the Dial() documentation I provided as a reference: http://www.voip-info.org/wiki/view/Asterisk+cmd+Dial.

Ok, MR Chandave!. Thank you very much for your time. I had to make some costumizing in my dial string. I'm posting here just to let others to know, instead, trying to figure it out. With those "w" I could make it to work, but for my calling card company I had to mix a little bit with number:

exten => s,1,Dial(SIP/1800XXXXXXX@provider.com,15,D(wwwwwXwXwXwXwXwXwXwX wXwXwXwX))

where the X's are the PIN numbers.
where the provider.com =sip provider

I had to put a pause of 1/2 sec in between each number to let the calling card company understand the PIN digits. I don't know why, just works for me.

Thanks again, MR. Chandave. Peoples like you is what makes the internet worthwide.http://voxilla.com/modules/PNphpBB2/...s/image_14.gif
