Unusual Request

[isteam]

I just got an unusual request from the VP of Information Technnology asking if ther is any way to forward an extension to a cell phone (I know how to do that), but also have the extension receive the call as well.  We are using CUM version 6.1.3.2000-1 which we are upgrading to the newest version this fall.

I've done some quck research, but have not found any concrete answers.

Can CUM 6x forward a call to 2 numbers?  This would be with the current system we have, and I will not spend any $$ for 3rd party software.

That's not uncommon at all, it's a very widely used feature

Yes, that was what I was looking for..... thanks.

Now, if I can get the VP to push it off until next fiscal year, when call manager gets upgraded.

If you're using H.323, you can use my script "blast calls" from www.ciscoscripts.com to fork calls to as many destination you want.
