Hello all,
thanks to all of you for your truly excellent ideas and suggestions, greatly
appreciated!
You have definitely given me a lot of things to play around with in the coming
days.
For starters, I think I will try the built-in Follow Me feature as suggested by
Karl, as it seems like this

Followme can be configured to accept a keypress to accept or decline the
call. Put something like this in followme.conf:
[general]
featuredigittimeout=>5000
takecall=>1
declinecall=>2
call_from_prompt=>followme/call-from
norecording_prompt=>followme/no-recording
options_prompt=>followme/options

Theoretically, I could use the dial function to call one number, then
wait a few seconds and then dial another number. In practice, this
won’t work because as soon as a call is answered by the mobile
carrier’s voicemail the caller would be connected to that, no other
numbers would be called.
Just a few ideas...
1. Disable all mobile carrier's voicemail and configure a voicemail on
your Asterisk. Let Asterisk handle the unanswered calls.
2. If your SIP provider allows multiple calls at the same time,
configure Asterisk to call all your SIMs at once (instead of calling the
first,
I know if you use freepbx on top of asterisk, you get a followme which
calls one or more cell phones and ask for confirmation, maybe the
regular asterisk followme does this as well, but basically this is the
way to do it.

Hi all,
sorry if the subject is a bit confusing, but I just couldn’t think of a good
way of better describing the situation…
Basically, I travel a lot and have several SIM cards for my phone from local
carriers. What I’d like to do now is to setup Asterisk, so that people who want
to reach me
