The one feature that everyone seems to be missing with these tutorials is a simple tool to have people confirm that they would like to accept the forwarded call... I'm helping a mutual aid group and we have a list of people whose phones all ring simultaneously (meaning that inevitably someones voicemail answers first) and I have yet to find an easy way to implement a simple "Press any key to accept this call" where the first person to answer AND press any key gets the call...

Would you be interested in a functions script that does this? I've got one kicking around I can share.

Kazoo [0] offers this as a config option on devices (which can represent SIP desk phones, soft phones, WebRTC endpoints, or call-forwarded cell phones): call_forward.require_keypress [1] There's a lot of re-inventing of telecom wheels required (if even possible) with TwiML (and clones).

You can implement this with the Twilio API or Twilio Studio pretty easily.
