[Asterisk-Users] Using a group variable for a group ofextension to dial

[Seth Remington]

It would ring all three at the same time. You are probably looking for a
roundrobin call queue ->
http://www.voip-info.org/wiki-Asterisk+call+queues

I have never set up a call queue myself so I can't help you more than
pointing you to the link. You could also do what you want with just the
dialplan...

exten => 501,1,Dial(SIP/Phone1,10)
exten => 501,2,Dial(SIP/Phone2,10)
exten => 501,3,Dial(SIP/Phone3,10)

That would ring phone 1 for ten seconds, if it wasn't answered it would
ring phone 2 for ten seconds, etc...
