FreePBX - IVR Options Not Working [fixed!]

Funny times again in FreePBX Land.

As excited as I am at how close I am to having my 'own Google voice' catch-all number, it seems I'm bumping into an issue with the IVR. I am able to record the IVR, reach the IVR when calling the inbound route, but when the IVR recording plays, I am unable to actually do anything. When the voice says 'Press 1' and I press 1, nothing happens. It's not picking up the DTMF tone or something. Or permissions are wacky. I've emailed Disposable Joe to see what he thinks about the scenario...

EDIT:

DTMF was the problem. In the PEER details of the Trunk in FreePBX:

Change dtmfmode=rfc2833 to dtmfmode=inband

Or add it if isn't there...

Why?

The device that you press the key on will generate the DTMF tones. - If the codec is not ulaw or alaw then the DTMF tones will be distorted by the audio compression and will not be recognised. If the phone is set for RFC2833 and asterisk is set for inband then you may not hear anything

For more details check the sauce

That's why!

If you are calling from an external line then it's a different codec or somthing.

Another option is to use dtmfmode=auto, but that didn't seem to work either.

Important Reminder

Finally, it is successful. Voice reminders are able to be set right through the phone. I was missing an important part in the extensions_custom.conf:

nano -w /etc/asterisk/extensions_custom.conf

If your installation is fresh outa the box like mine, then you will have to ADD (entirely):

[from-internal-custom]
exten => 123,1,Answer
exten => 123,2,Wait(1)
exten => 123,3,Authenticate(12345678)
exten => 123,4,Goto(reminder,s,1)

The context [from-internal-custom] is important. It should not be [from-internal-trixbox] like somewhere mentioned...

Be sure to amportal restart

I also added the Misc Destinations module via FreePBX web gui. And added..
Dial: 123
Description: Telephone Reminders

I also noticed that we had a rogue extension installed called "TESTY" which was using ext 1234. I don't know how TESTY got into the box, but it may have been affecting things as well.

So, it works now... the voice menus are a dance && 1/2 but it works.

I should point out that these phone reminders are the same module as the ones that we make with the web gui, but they don't actually require the Cepstral thing since you record the reminder using your very own home-grown voice.

Congratulations, you now have a very complex prank calling system.
