I remember doing the testing and two calls going out at the same time don’t actually have to go out at the *exact* same time. The remote end will pick up one of the two calls, but there is no guarantee which one it will be. Also, if you let the first call ring too long, yes, the second call will go to voicemail, but the first call will start ringing, which is something we wanted to avoid.

They both go out at the same instant and as soon as it hits voicemail it disconnects the other leg. If you wanted you could leave it ringing for twenty minutes and it would still have the same effect.

That way, an end user could (1) not be bothered by having to answer the call, (2) delete the message without listening to it, or (3) listen to the message when it was most convenient for them. That way, they were in control and things were done on their terms. On 6/02/2017, at 11:34 AM, Steve Edwards <[email protected]> wrote: Love the idea. How?

Does the first 'busy out' my number at my cell provider so the second goes straight to VM?
