In this recipe we will create a simple dialplan extension that will read back to the caller their extension number. We will use a phrase macro to handle the work of stitching together sound prompts and utilizing the say application to read back the caller's extension number.

Getting ready

You will need a text editor and at least one phone for this recipe. It is also recommended that you review the phrase file for your language. For English, this can be found in the FreeSWITCH source directory in docs/phrase/phrase_en.xml.
