`RetryDial()`

Attemps to dial and retries if the attempt fails.

        
          RetryDial(announcement,sleep,retries,technology/resource[&technology2/resource2...][,timeout[,options[,URL]]])

Attempts, like Dial(), to call a device. Plays the file announcement (without file extension!) if no device can be reached, then waits sleep seconds before trying again. The default sleep interval is 10 seconds. After retries retries, the call is handed to the next priority in the dialplan. If retries is set to 0 or -1, the application retries indefinitely.

A single-digit extension may be dialed by the caller during the sleep interval. If this extension exists in the context defined by ${EXITCONTEXT} or in the current context, the call is passed to that extension.

All arguments following retries are passed to directly to Dial().

; Try to dial the number three times, repeat after 5 seconds:
exten => 123,1,RetryDial(trying-to-connect-you,5,3,IAX2/VOIP/18005554148
,30)
; If the caller presses 4 while waiting, try the call on Zap/4:
exten => 0,1,RetryDial(trying-to-connect-you,5,3,Zap/4/18005554148,30)
