it may be possible for the user to configure their q value.  if not, set
default q value to be for example 0.5.

your first 123 would use its registered q value, cell would have
permanent registration with higher q value and then you would add second
permanent registration for 123 with still higher q value.  that would
cause the whole thing to start again though.

but it is not a good idea to have a long chain without actually
answering the phone because the caller's phone or openser may timeout
the transaction.  for longer chains you need to use a call center style
application that you can implement, for example, using sems.

that is a possibility.
