asterisk users - Mar 2011 - Checking status of a cell phone

Hi,

I am looking for a way to check the status of a cell phone. Found one way that
worked for me and would like to have some feedback or suggestion of improvments.

Below example is for a ?Swedish? cell phone, dont know if it works in the same
way for other countries.

I could define ?redirecting? numbers for 3 traffic cases when u dial my mobile
(073-302 59 75):
NOT_INUSE call forward to A
INUSE call forward to B in my case 010-602 4975
UNAVAILABLE call forward to C in my case 010-602 4976

I'd like to check I understood: Your Asterisk server is connected to a
landline and can call your cellephone (073-302 59 75).

When a call comes in from the landline, Asterisk checks whether your
cellphone is available and redirects the call; If not available, it
calls a landline number (010-602 4975). If this landline number is not
available, it tries a third number (010-602 4976)?

Is the AMI code below enough to check if the cellphone is
available/in-use?

I was a little unclear, it is not the cell phone that does the call-back, it 
is the cell-phone-network.
We can define 3 traffic-cases per cell-phone:
1) If cell-phone wont anser in x seconds call number a.
2) if cell-phone is busy call number b.
3) if cell-phone is unavailable call number c.

Makes more sense :-) Thank you.
