Which if you follow my solution will still ring to the other phones/devices. http://www.voip-info.org/wiki-Asterisk+cmd+Dial Use the M option to accomplish this (I'm 1.2 here) if you use 1.4/1.6 then there might be an easier solution, not sure. On Mon, Mar 16, 2009 at 8:58 PM, drew einhorn wrote:

I have a possible suggestion -- don't consider the call answered unless someone types a 1 or something -- makes the dial plan more complex, but it should work pretty well. on Monday 03/16/2009 drew einhorn(drew.einh...@gmail.com) wrote > On Mon, Mar 16, 2009 at 6:47 PM, C F wrote: > > Good luc

Nextel does that, pickups up after x rings and says 'The Nextel subscriber you are trying to reach is unavailable, please try your call again later". I'm not sure what Verizon or Nextel called this "feature" or what advantage is it for the carrier to play it versus just letting it ring forever.
