I've heard of some variants of this feature - that's the beauty (and down-side!) of a programmable system - it's open to different people's interpretations... (And why I think some of these features shouldn't be hard-coded into the system when they are implementable in the dialplan or AGI) > By the way, do you introduce special settings so that ringing tones are > different ? > Let me explain this : > > If Alice dials its extension and PIN code using Bob's hardphones, Bob and > Alice can both be called with the same phone. > Is it possible to have different ringing for Alice and Bob's incoming calls > ?

A simple way might be to change the caller-id on follow-me calls - change the name part into the number and change the number into a special number that the phone recognises as a separate ring-tone, but you lose information here, and need a phone that can display both name and number at the same time, and connect numbers to different ring-tones - then you end up going down the route of requiring a certian phone for a certian service - which might be acceptable to some people, but defeats the whole generic "any SIP phone will do" type ideas. I have experimented with sending text message to phones (for other purposes - eg. the print the speed-dial numbers to the display when they get set), but again, different phones handle this differently, and some you need to push a key-sequence to get the message, by which time it might be too late!
