<Number> noun

<Dial> verb's <Number> noun specifies what phone number to dial. You can use up to 10 <Number>s within a <Dial> to simultaneously call several people. The first person to answer the call will be connected to the caller and the rest of the called numbers will be hung up.

Noun Attributes

Attribute
sendDigits optional	Play DTMF tones when a call is answered. Useful when dialing numbers with extensions. SignalWire will initially dial the main phone number, then send the DTMF tones for the extension when the automated system answers.
url optional	A specified URL for a document that runs on the callee's end after the dialed number answers but before the call is connected. This allows the caller to provide information to the dialed number, giving them the opportunity to decline the call, before they answer the call.
method optional	The method attribute specifies whether the request to action is a GET or a POST. Valid values are GET or POST. Default value is POST.
statusCallbackEvent optional	The current status of the call. The call moves from initiated to ringing when the phone starts ringing. It moves from ringing to answered when the phone call is answered. Finally, it moves from answered to completed when the call is terminated. The status will be set to completed through the following reasons: busy, canceled, completed, failed, or no-answer. To specify multiple events, separate each one with a space. See below for the different call statuses.
statusCallback optional	The URL to make requests to for each statusCallbackEvent event. See below for request parameters.
statusCallbackMethod optional	The type of HTTP request to use when requesting a statusCallback. Default is POST.

Status values for the statusCallbackEvent attribute

The statusCallbackEvent attribute has the following call status values:

Value
initiated	Dialing of a call has begun.
ringing	The call has begun ringing.
answered	The call has been answered.
completed	The call has been terminated. The status will be set to completed through the following reasons: busy, canceled, completed, failed, or no-answer.

Examples

Dialing an Extension

XML

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<Response>
    <Dial>
        <Number sendDigits="www5645">
            123-456-7890
        </Number>
    </Dial>
</Response>

JavaScript

const { RestClient } = require("@signalwire/compatibility-api");
const response = new RestClient.LaML.VoiceResponse();

dial = response.dial();
dial.number({ sendDigits: "www5645" }, "123-456-7890");
console.log(response.toString());

C#

using System;
using Twilio.TwiML;
using Twilio.TwiML.Voice;


class Example
{
    static void Main()
    {
        var response = new VoiceResponse();
        var dial = new Dial();
        dial.Number("123-456-7890", sendDigits: "www5645");

        response.Append(dial);
        Console.WriteLine(response.ToString());;
    }
}

Python

from signalwire.voice_response import VoiceResponse, Dial, Number

response = VoiceResponse()
dial = Dial()
dial.number('123-456-7890', send_digits='www5645')
response.append(dial)

print(response)

Ruby

require 'signalwire/sdk'

response = Signalwire::Sdk::VoiceResponse.new do |response|
  response.dial do |dial|
    dial.number('123-456-7890', send_digits: 'www5645')
  end
end

puts response.to_s

After entering the phone number, we want to wait a little before entering in the extension. In order to do this, a w can be placed in front of the extension number. Each w will wait 0.5 seconds before dialing the extension. In this example, SignalWire will wait 1.5 seconds before dialing the extension 5645.
