The followme feature of freepbx has this functionality. You can setup an extension to pre-ring for a certain period. So ring your house line for 20secs and then dial out to your cell phone (and continue the house line if you wish). It can also optionally answer and play an announcement before forwarding the calls.

Indeed, you are very correct and it does seem a bit strange. But here is what I have until I buy and replace/convert all of my analogue phones. Currently, I do now have any IP phones. I only have the incoming line connect to asterisk and all of my analogue phones in paralle. For not, I would like my old phones to continue to ring and if no one answers, then forward to my cell where I have VM feature. It would be nice if I can configure asterisk to wait for a specified number of seconds before pick it up as it currently picks up the line very quickly to put the caller into the IVR menu, so sometimes we miss the calls and have to pick up the call from the cell. Feel free to comment as there could be other better ways to get around my temparily problem. I am looking for some good IP phones and ATA too.. thanks, Richard ----- Original Message ----- From: "David Cook (Canada)" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Richard (Rogers @ work)" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Cc: <[email protected]> Sent: Monday, February 19, 2007 8:48 AM Subject: Re: [on-asterisk] Setup call forward if not available in FreePBX > Quoting "Richard (Rogers @ work)" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > > I am trying to a feature called "call forward/redirect" (offered by > > Bell) when unavailable in my FreePBX.
