How to make a call through Asterisk?

Question

PHP

Little experience with Asterisk, how can I call a number through php, for example, the client picks up the phone, plays the file and then switches to a live operator?

Answer 1

Another option is through CALL files.

Answer 2

I'll give you just a hint on the asterisk (without php):
Originate - the asterisk itself dials.
Background - the file is played.
Dial - call to the operator.

Answer 3

There is a ready call system for asterisk, with a web interface.
The principle of operation is as follows:
Upload an .xls file with numbers
Enter the date and time period for making calls (for example, if you do not need to call on weekends and at night)
Press OK
That's it, the calls went. After some time, download the call report.
If you are interested, my contacts are in PM.

Answer 4

There are a lot of web resources with such functionality now. The difference is only in price, service and additional features. https://calltools.ru/ is a good system.
