[asterisk-users] Checking status of a cell phone

[magnus.b at inputinterior.se]

Setup as below:

Celluar Network - E1 - Avaya - OOH323 - Asterisk

It works like this, some1 (we can call her Åsa) wants to know if i am 
avaiable (my cell phone 073-302 59 75 is NOT_INUSE)
She have a web-app (just a simple form), where she enter my extension and 
hits enter.
The web-app originates the call as i wrote and waits for the "status" then 
ofc presents it to Åsa.

I was writing the app (probably the worst written code i have done so dont 
ask me to post it) late thursday and let Åsa use it on Friday.
And yes, the AMI code was enough, everytime she should transfer a call to me 
or just call me , she used the web-app first, and she was very happy.
When she saw that I was INUSE she sent me a mail that mr X has been looking 
for me, i got the mail while I was talking in the phone so I know that
she used the web-app to determine my status, not just transfering the call.

I'd like to check I understood: Your Asterisk server is connected to a
landline and can call your cellephone (073-302 59 75).

When a call comes in from the landline, Asterisk checks whether your
cellphone is available and redirects the call; If not available, it
calls a landline number (010-602 4975). If this landline number is not
available, it tries a third number (010-602 4976)?

Is the AMI code below enough to check if the cellphone is
available/in-use?
