I hope someone can help me with this. This is what I want to happen. Someone dials in and goes to my extension. First, the phone on my desk rings If there is not an answer, I would like to have the dialplan call my cell phone. If I answer my cell phone, speak the incomming number to me. I press one of the buttons on my cell phone to accept the call. If I don't answer, or I don't press the correct key on my cell, the call gets transfered into voicemail. In my searching I did see something like this is possible if I am dialing my cell phone from a Zap connection. Is there a way I can do something like this with my IAX connection??? Thanks Much Ben
Hi, The call transfert to your cell-phone shouldn' be the problem. But, you don't have control over you cell phone. Normaly, (almost) , if you don't answer you cellphone too, the caller will be able to Speak into you voicemail box (celluar phone,except your Provider offers other services, to transfer the call back to another Phonenumber, in your case back to the asterisk box.) I think this would be a very expensive solution, don't you think ?

A Rube Goldberg type solution is to send a text message to the cell phone, reply to the message if you want the call to forward to your cell phone. You do have to keep the ZAP connection waiting for the SMS/text round trip.

Otherwise, I would be doing it already. It would provide a way to do non-blind call transfer with caller ID name/number displayed. With my cell provider there is a web page for sending text messages. I looked at the html and then wrote a shell script that sends me text messages. Sending is free. Replies are not. #!/bin.sh # Gnu GPL applies # cheap and lazy approach # use perl if you want to do anything fancy wget -o sendpage.log -O /dev/null \ "http://${SOMEURL}/index.php?name=uscc&number=${SOMECELL}&message=testing99&Send=Send"
