Well, you'll have to decide how you want to "hang up" the caller: Do you 
want him/her to be ignored, or to be told that you are not available (like 
an answering machine)?  You also need to tell  Asterisk how to determine if 
the next "invite" comes from the same caller during the same "session". 
(These are not very easy tasks but doable.)

In either case, you need to add a flag to your dial plan, set it after it 
rings your cell, and reset it once Asterisk determines that THIS caller has 
been "hung up". (Of course you can do what "Vacation" does in E-mail: set up 
a flag for each identifiable caller, and only call your mobile once until 
you reset them all.  The algorithm would be simpler but more unidentifiable 
callers will be ignored.)  Your dial plan will check this flag before 
ringing your cell, then branch accordingly.

Hope this helps.
