[Freeswitch-users] Follow me implementation

[Luis Daniel Lucio Quiroz]

Guillermo,

I dont think bluethood will work on your need. Reason is that Bt has 1
to 1 relationship.  This means, you need as many BT radios as many
people are in the room.  Putting 1 BT radio in a PC will work with
first hit, but second person wont be able to be detected.

I think best option is to install a softphone in your smartphone and
allow multiple registration. When dialing to your extension, it will
ring on your extension and on your smartphone as well.
