Hello all, I've been asked to look into my home dial plan to see if I can improve it by an important customer (my wife). What we would like to have happen is that an inbound call rings all the phones (This is done). Once one phone picks up, of course all the others stop ringing (Also done). Here's the gotcha. She doesnt like having to "transfer" calls to another phone; she'd rather just pick up the phone and have the call be active there as well (like good 'ol land lines). What I was thinking on how to do this is using some sort of call parking for the hunt group of all the phones in the house. Once the call is picked up, it then places both the SIP phone and caller into a meetme conference room. To simply join that static assigned room, one of the other phones picks up and joins that room. What I have a concern about is if we hang up, the caller can still sit there and listen in. When no phones are active, it should disconnect the caller. Does this implementation make sense? Has anyone else done something like this? Thanks.
Here's some details for you all. Asterisk 1.2 Polycom 301/601 phones As for my existing dial plan, I'm considering starting from scratch. Thanks again.

Worked for my wife! Gordon
You want a key system, the fianl frontier of an asterisk implementation, and currently my holy grail. The best way to do it in an ugly way is to park the call and have a speed dial for pickup. Some phones like Aastra 55i and 57i can even have their hold button reprogrammed to blind transfer to the call parking.

Call Park / Call Pickup would probably be the best option for this. -----Mensaje original----- De: asterisk-users-bounces at lists.digium.com [mailto:asterisk-users-bounces at lists.digium.com]En nombre de Russell Handorf Enviado el: martes, 14 de agosto de 2007 19:16 Para: Asterisk Users Mailing List - Non-Commercial Discussion Asunto: [asterisk-users] Dial plan suggestions Hello all, I've been asked to look into my home dial plan to see if I can improve it by an important customer (my wife).
