Congestion( ) Indicates congestion on the channel

Congestion([timeout])

Requests that the channel indicate congestion and then waits for the user to hang up or for the optional timeout (in seconds) to expire.

This application only signals congestion; it doesn't actually play a congestion tone to the user. You can use Playtones(congestion) to play a congestion tone to the caller.

Always returns -1.

    ; if the Caller ID is 555-1234, always play congestion
    exten => 123,1,GotoIf($[${CALLERIDNUM} = 5551234]?5:2)
    exten => 123,2,Playtones(congestion)
    exten => 123,3,Congestion(  )
    exten => 123,4,Hangup(  )
