It was the phone thanks for your guys help, I appreciate your responses.
check to make sure your phone doesn’t have a device side feature code that uses *72 and thus is never being sent to Asterisk.
I did *72 on my extension and in the cli I see it working
asterisk -rx "database showkey CF"
0 results found.
asterisk -rx "database showkey CFU"
0 results found.
asterisk -rx "database showkey CFB"
0 results found.
asterisk -rx "database show CFB"
0 results found.
asterisk -rx "database show CF"
0 results found.
asterisk -rx "database show CFU"
0 results found.

Okay so if I do database put CF extension number it looks like it will use that number to forward calls
just odd that if I enter a number through *72 on the phone its not showing up in the db.
It is stored in the Asterisk database (astdb).
what is it under ?
so in the cli if I type
database show key
what would I type to view it?
also if I put a key value in the database will freepbx know that it exists?
my over all goal is to have a external app put values in the astdb and forward calls for extensions.
CF, CFU, CFB are the keys. If you update the database FreePBX will know about it.
