You can easily have an incoming call ring multiple extensions. You could also send the incoming call to an alternate extension.

I agree with the comments of JT on that bug report: You can rather easily arrange this going using DBGet and DBPut. Still it might be a good idea to create an example and present that on the wiki, even include it in the default extensions.conf. Apart from that you have the option to use a phone (like the SNOM) that allows for multiple users. But unless you take extra provisions you'll still need to register with _your_ server, and not the branch's server. Let's assume we divide our number space into physical phones and personal numbers: - 1000 to 1999 for physical phones - 2000 to 2999 for persons Now all you need to do is write a small set of macros that - sets my caller ID (with DBget) to 2555 when I call 2301 using phone 1022 - offers a tiny menu where I can say "I am 2555 and can be found at 1022" and store that with DBput. You'll have to notify the other server(s) using AGI about this change or - better - use a shared database. Your voicemail, however, will not move with you, so you'll still need to call your "home server" to retrieve that. Also the MWI function on phone 1022 will need extra treatment in sip.conf (or whatever channel you use) to adjust the mailbox= setting - ok, that's a bit ugly to fix, but maybe you can also do without vm while away, or use the web interface...?
