Hi Michael,

Thanks for trying to help with this.

In the dial plan above, consider that target is sitting at their
6095553828 phone. And that broadvox does not route to 6095553828  and
passes me a NO_ROUTE_DESTINATION.

The target will never get the call.

So if I extend this to:

In this plan you are not calling the numbers simultaneously if the
broadvox is not able to route both calls. I can not see that you can
stack this way and get the ability to call multiple destinations, so I
must be missing something.

"Call blast" or "Followme" is basically the functionality I am trying
to implement. Separately we use multiple carriers. This is fairly
common requirement.

I am using .NET by the way - but point taken.

Any other ideas on how to achieve multiple destinations with carrier
failover would great!

Thanks again.
