Ok, that sort of makes sense. But what I am doing is passing off a call into my Asterisk system to a cell phone. I want this to count as 2 "channels". So, I am doing, in effect, this kind of algo:
Answer the call Set(Group) to increment channel to 1 Play IVR, go into menus, etc. Eventually go into a "Set(group) again to increment channel before dialing a cell phone using a "dial(cellphone#)" cmd. If that doesn't work, how do I accomplish the same kind of thing elegantly?

My example below: > > exten => _35XX,1,Set(GROUP()=Max_Calls) exten => _35XX,n,NoOP(Active > Calls: ${GROUP_COUNT(Max_Calls)}) Apart from that you assign the group 1234 twice to the *same* channel. So GROUP_COUNT(1234) correctly reports only *1* channel to be in that group.
