[Freeswitch-users] Simultaneous ring out (external)

[Kristian Kielhofner]

Frank,

  This is easy to do with bridge:

  However, one issue you'll likely experience is early audio and
answers.  When calling multiple cell phones, for example, it's very
likely at least one will be out of service, ignored (callee declining
call), etc.  As long as voicemail is active it's a race to see what
answers first - an actual human being or a cell carrier voicemail
system.

  The first thing you can do is pass

 That way you'll only have to worry about actual answers - even if it
is a voicemail system.
