Random() Conditionally branches, based upon a probability
Random([probability]:[[context,]extension,]priority)

This application has been deprecated in favor of:
GotoIf($[${RAND(1,100)} > num]?label)

Conditionally jumps to the specified priority (and optional extension and context),
based on the specified probability. probability should be an integer between 1 and
100. The application will jump to the specified destination priority percent of the time.

Read() Reads DTMF digits from the caller and assigns the result to a variable
Read(variable[,filename[,maxdigits[,option[,attempts[,timeout]]]]])

Reads a #-terminated string of digits from the user in to the given variable.
Other arguments include:

filename
Specifies the file to play before reading digits.
maxdigits
Sets the maximum acceptable number of digits. If this argument is specified, the
