I don't know why I've not spotted this in the past, simply not used to
double click in PHP pages and not tested for it :(
To me it just does not make sense that the message is sent twice.

Actually that is where the best business is at the moment. Upgrading
sites that have added more rooms ;)
But we do have a system that uses Text to Speech and calls by name, so
the ticket number is not so critical. The 'old' system only has 1 to 300
recorded as segments for the announcements :)
