As a matter of fact, I don't think that's the desired behavior!

You want to continue ringing everyone until the call is accepted...not just
answered.

But when you answer and get prompted to press one, doesn't Asterisk
consider the call as answered/bridged and stop ringing the other
phones?

FreePBX has this functionality... they call it "Confirm Calls"

I;m not sure if you can set it on actual extensions, but I know you can

set it on ring groups.

GranCentral and Require a Touch-Tone to Connect?

Quote:

GrandCentral has a feature where when you call the GrandCentral number it

can ring multiple phones. However, it's not the first phone to answer that
gets connected, but the first phone to answer AND play a touch-tone after
hearing a recording. The advantage of this is that if one of the called
phones has voicemail, it won't get connected to the calling party because
the VM won't send a touch tone in response to the recording, unlike a live
person.

I have always resisted implementing a multiple ring scenario with

Asterisk that included a cellphone because of the voicemail answering
problem, but this seems to be a solution.

Anyone know how to implement it with Asterisk?

I am not totally familiar with FreePBX and ring groups with the
confirmation option but I do not believe the call is answered
(bridged) until the # key is pressed, therefore it is desired behavior
as the other phones will continue to ring.

I may be wrong, like I said. Maybe someone can clarify this.

Thanks,
Steve Totaro
