The problem is that, if one of the destination phones is diverting to voicemail, you won't know it's voicemail until it's answered -- by which time it's already too late. The best you could hope to do is: park the incoming call; ring all the handsets at once; and when each one answers, play a recorded message giving the number to pick up the parked call. If any of them successfully picks up the parked call, then of course you need to abort the Dial() to the other ones. If no-one picks up the parked call within a reasonable timeframe, it can be sent to Asterisk's own voicemail. -- AJS -- _____________________________________________________________________ -- Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by http://www.api-digital.com -- New to Asterisk?
