It'll work without the square brackets. The square brackets that are
shown in "core show application Dial" aren't meant to be put in
literally. They just signify that the stuff inside them is optional.
However, using Dial that way won't do what you're looking for. Instead,
it'll ring both (or all) devices at once, and the first one to answer
will get the call. The others will just be disconnected. If you want
it to ring the second number only after the first one didn't work,
you'll have to do that in your dialplan by checking ${DIALSTATUS} after
Dial.
