I have a seemingly simple problem that I can't figure out how to implement. Simplified Problem: I'd like to have my cell phone and my deskphone ring at the same time. This seems simple, but there is a small caveat. I need to have a channel variable set differently for my cellphone. Specifically: voicepulse requires you to have the caller id number and caller id name set to the number in order to pass it on to the PSTN. I want to see the callerid name on my deskphone however. === Ok, normally, I'd just do a: <action application="bridge" data="sofia/internal/101%$${domain},sofia/gateway/voicepulse/$${cellnumber}"/> but then my cell phone shows Unknown or Blocked when receiving the call. If prior to that I do: <action application="set" data="effective_caller_id_name=${caller_id_number}"/> Then I get the correct callerid on my cell, but only the callerid number on my deskphone. I asked on #freeswitch and had some hints, but they either went over my head or I didn't communicate my problem right. Using multiple extension entries with continue="yes" doesn't seem to execute them in parallel (so the deskphone and the cell don't ring at the same time). The "obvious" answer is how I implemented this in asterisk -- and maybe that is my problem, thinking in terms of asterisk. The bridge equivalent would be the dial() app. This allows me to dial back into the dialplan if I use the "local" channel. This gives a level of indirection that would then let me modify the channelvars as necessary. The only way I can see to "call" back into the dialplan is to use the transfer application. But that can't do multiple extensions in parallel so doesn't solve my problem. What am I missing? -Rupa
