<div>*****************</div><div>Summary:</div><div><br></div><div>I need to be able to ring multiple numbers in followme.conf at the same time, even if one of the SIP extensions is unreachable.</div><div>This works in 1.4.8 but not in 1.8, just barfs and sends to voice mail instead of ringing the other 2 extensions on the same line in the followme.conf</div>
<div><br></div><div>See more details below.</div><div>*****************</div><div><br></div>I decided to mess around with followme and it actually suits my needs quit well. I want to know what number the caller called into when my cell phone rings, then decide if I want to answer it by pressing 1 or not. Also helps with making sure voicemail is only left on my Asterisk voicemail instead of my cell phone voice mail.<div>
<br></div><div>So, I set up followme on Asterisk 1.4.8 something like this and it worked great:</div><div><br></div><div>from my followme.conf:</div><div>number=>207&206&5554441212,28</div><div><br></div><div>Problem is after moving this same config to my new 1.8 box the call fails and goes to voice mail if either of the two sip extensions are unreachable.</div>
<div><br></div><div>So, let me explain further...</div><div><br></div><div>If both SIP/207 and SIP/206 are up and running and accessible to receive the call then all goes well, if one of them is down for some reason then none of the 3 extensions ring and it just goes to voice mail. This stinks because I lose all calls to voice mail if for example my Internet connection goes down at home (207). Wouldn't this be the time you really want your other phones to ring?</div>
<div><br></div><div>I thought about doing something like this:</div><div>number=>207&206&5554441212,28</div><div>number=>207&5554441212,28</div><div><br></div><div>In case say 206 fails but when 206 is up, they will be on hold for almost a minute before going to voice mail if I don't answer.</div>
<div><br></div><div>I know there are other solutions outside followme but this worked in 1.4.8 and I have to think it should work in 1.8. Just not sure what I am missing.</div><div><br></div><div>Thanks in advance for any help.</div>
