That does work and it rings both phones. I was able to put in some
error handling to deal with the extension if the softphone isn't
connected and still allow the remote phone to ring :-).

The trick now is the timing for the remote voice mail. Since cell
phone contact times can sometimes vary in length what can I do to make
sure a users call isn't cut off when leaving a message if the ring and
voicemail message are greater then 20? Currently it just goes to a
busy tone when the 20 seconds are reached... Should I just increase
the time? I'm still concerned if someone leaves a long message that
they may get cut off?
