[Asterisk-Users] dialing multiple extensions

I've tried to setup multiple extension dialing - ie dial 1 number and it 
rings at a number of sources.

For the most part its worked....  Now if someone dials 107 it rings Sip 
phones at 102 and 107, then goes to voicemail after 40 seconds.

exten => 107,1,Dial(SIP/102&SIP/107,40|r)
exten => 107,2,Voicemail(u102@pstn)
exten => 107,3,Hangup
exten => 107,102,Voicemail(b102@pstn)
exten => 107,103,Hangup

The problem I'm running into is when I add my cell phone in

exten => 107,1,Dial(SIP/102&SIP/107&Zap/2/11235551212,40|r)
exten => 107,2,Voicemail(u102@pstn)
exten => 107,3,Hangup
exten => 107,102,Voicemail(b102@pstn)
exten => 107,103,Hangup

Calling from x110 the SIP extensions ring once, maybe twice.  Then once 
my cell phone starts ringing the SIP phones stop, even though I haven't 
answered my cell phone.  Here's what happens:

    -- Executing Dial("SIP/110-3e4f", 
"SIP/107&SIP/102&Zap/2/11235551212|40|r") in new stack
    -- Called 107
    -- Called 102
    -- Called 2/11235551212
    -- SIP/107-3d25 is ringing
    -- SIP/102-1f69 is ringing
    -- Zap/2-1 answered SIP/110-3e4f

I know I can do the following....

exten => 107,1,Dial(SIP/102&SIP/107,40|r)
exten => 107,2,Dial(ZAP/2/11235551212,40|r)
exten => 107,3,Voicemail(u102@pstn)
exten => 107,4,Hangup
exten => 107,102,Voicemail(b102@pstn)
exten => 107,103,Hangup

I'm just wondering if I could get all this in one line.

Would dialing via IAX2 help rather then through the zaptel lines?

Your problem here probably lies in you are most likely using an analog
line for the zap portion. Since analog doesn't know when the other side
answered or not, it assumes answered and stops ringing your SIP phones.

IAX2 would help, but only if you where using a provider who had a PRI or
T1 line that knows when the other side answers the phone.

You can use progress detect because on analog it will answer once its done
dialing otherwise.

[Asterisk-Users] dialing multiple extensions

It looks like your cellphone carrier is actually "answering" the call 
before they ring your phone.  In their switch, they probably have the 
equiv of:

exten => your.cellphone.number,1,Answer()
exten => your.cellphone.number,2,Ringing
exten => your.cellphone.number,3,Dial(CELL/${EXTEN},20)
exten => your.cellphone.number,4,Voicemail(u${EXTEN})
exten => your.cellphone.number,104,Voicemail(b${EXTEN})

This is actually a serious no-no for them to be doing though.  If that 
is in fact what they are doing, anyone who dials long distance to your 
cellphone will be paying to hear it ring, even if they hang up before 
you answer or your voicemail answers the phone.

What they SHOULD be doing is more along these lines:

exten => your.cellphone.number,1,Dial(CELL/${EXTEN},20)
exten => your.cellphone.number,2,Voicemail(u${EXTEN})
exten => your.cellphone.number,102,Voicemail(b${EXTEN})

Good luck getting them to change this behavior though if they are 
actually giving answer indication right off the bat.

Thanks for the reply - I have version cell phone service.  I did a work 
around and called my cell phone via IAX2 as opposed to the zaptel 
channels.  This works and all 3 extensions ring w/ no problem.
