Question

Here is the dial plan

[testInComingCalls]

exten => s,1,Answer

exten => 30953025,1,Dial(SIP/20000,20)

I would like to play an audio file as soon as somebody answered the call (Welcome Message)..

What does the Asterisk documentation say about that? – Andrew Schulman Jan 31 '14 at 10:12 — Andrew Schulman, Jan 31 '14 at 10:12

In freePBX, these are the steps:

Add a system recording (Admin -> System Recordings)
Create an Announcement using that recording. (Application -> Announcements) Set the "destination after ring" to whatever you want to (probably whatever extension somebody is picking up)
Set the announcement as the destination on the appropriate inbound route (Connectivity -> Inbound Routes)

Note that this plays a message regardless of whether somebody picks up the extension.

Don't edit your dialplan directly if you're using freepbx.
