I installed the follow-me module and tried it out, it works great. I am just continually amazed at what asterisk can do.
Another question - I'd like one of the extensions to ring out to a cell phone. I may have the users press '9' or maybe tell them to use extension 900 or something, not sure yet. Whats the best way to forward a call out to an external number? I was thinking I could set it up as an extension, then use follow me, tell it to have 0 initial wait time, then in the extension list use "1234567890#" - the help says suffixing it with a pound sign will route the call externally. Something else I've thought about was playing a message to the user asking them if they are sure they want to connect, and if so press 1 - then I'll forward out the call. -Ryan Gustavo Hernandez wrote: > use folow-me > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "Ryan Stille" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > To: <asterisk-users@lists.digium.com> > Sent: Thursday, June 28, 2007 4:16 PM > Subject: [asterisk-users] setup multiple phones for 1 extension > > > >> I'll start by saying I'm a trixbox user, and a new one at that, so >> hopefully you can respond to me on those terms. >> >> I have a user who works from home 1 day a week.
