It would help to have an example from your extension.conf.  Also let
us know what version of Asterisk you are using and your Linux distro.

I'm thinking something like that shown below would work in your
extension.conf file.  I've assumed you dial out via SIP...

[your-incoming-context]
; Answer the incoming call
exten => s,1,Answer()
; Play ringing for caller

exten => s,n,Ringing()
;Dial your cell
exten => s,n,Dial(SIP/<cell number>@<SIP trunk>,20)
;Check for success
exten => s,n,GotoIf($[("${DIALSTATUS}" = "NOANSWER")]?s-CALLHOME,1)
exten => s,n,Hangup()
;
exten => s-CALLHOME,1,Dial(SIP/<home number>@<SIP trunk>)
exten => s-CALLHOME,n,Hangup()
