Hi Trevor,

Thanks for the response.

I was thinking if a GSM to VoIP gateway can do the job of multiple outgoing 
calls. I could be wrong but seems like cellphones do allow you to make 
multiple calls at a time (only one is active or one active conference). If 
we assume that I have a layer on my Nokia phone which allows me to have more 
than one active call then when my Asterisk system tries to make a call 
through the GSM-VoIP gateway then it would never get a busy and the layer on 
phone would do the job of facilitating calls.

Is this a possibility that anyone has tried?

Thanks.

Best Regards,
Hitesh
