FWD forwarding

Hi Guys,

I was wondering if you had a way of allowing users to forward FWD numbers to any SIP domain. So for example I'd like to have my FWD number fowarded to blah [!at] sipdomain.com (replace the [!at] with a @)

In fact it would be really useful to be able to forward multiple sip/voip accounts to a single account. The problem I have is that I've signed up to many providers (while I evaluate them), but have only one active line. If I could have all my accounts forwarded to one, then it would make things a whole lot simpler.

Hi Intradink,

I think you mean something like intradink [!at] voipuser.co.uk (replace the [!at] with a @) as your sip account and then have an option to point that to any sip-account you have and eve repoint it 24hours a day ?

We have the services here to offer it, i just need to write the website integration, so don't expect it to be done this week, but it is on my to-do list.

Regards,

Tj

It also depends on whether FWD allows forwarding...
So far I've had no luck forwarding it to any other voicemail or sip addresses..

If it supports it then there is no need for me to build anything, but if that option doesn't work then might it be a usefull option ?

I think there is an option for it in the control panel of FWD but not sure i'll have to check again.

Hi TJ,

I'm not sure if what you suggest is what I meant. Basically I have sip accounts with FWD, iConnectHere, VoipTalk (hopefully Voipuser when you offer outbound calls) and a couple of other smaller providers. Ideally I'd like to have someway of being able to redirect all of them to a single address instead.

My issue is that there are mulitple providers and peering between them isn't always easy. By having mulitiple accounts I make myself available to more IP phones. Unfortunately I don't have the infrastructure at home to support multiple lines, hence the request to forward multiple accounts to one address.

I hope that makes sense.

That would have to be done at the service providers end though (they'd have to allow you to point your number with them to a fowarding address). I think that's what Tj is suggesting, so you have, eg intradink [!at] voipuser.co.uk (replace the [!at] with a @) and you can point it anywhere you like.

All of the other service providers you use would have to offer the same.

I'm not sure which ones do and which ones don't.

I'm sure something could be done in software by way of a "dummy" client which acts as multiple SIP connections and routes everything through to one hardware phone/headset, showing engaged to all others when you're on a line etc. Seems a bit sledge hammer to crack a nut though, and I'm sure the ISP's will get the peering issues resolved eventually.

Hi Intradink,

Yes i understand what you mean, but this would mean that for every one provider you need to be able to setup a forward and then choose one of them to forward to and login to that account only.

Problem is not every provider (like SIPphone.com) allows you to set a forwarding. This is no problem if the rest allows for forwarding, but if they don't allow it either then i guess your a bit stuck...

I guess you need to look into a bit higher level IP phone that allows for multiple logins if more then one of your providers doesn't allow for login.

Hi Guys,

How about a service whereby you securely manage and redirect calls? I suppose something like proxying my sip accounts.

I imagine an interface where I setup all my SIP accounts with you (username/login), and you effectively register my accounts with each provider and then when a call comes in, you direct them to intradink [!at] voipuser.co.uk (replace the [!at] with a @).

This way I only have to manage one connection from my end, but get the benefit of having multiple sip accounts/addresses. If I drop or sign up to a new provider, then I just need to update it with you (no change at my end).

I could also choose one of those accounts for primary outbound calls, but could swop between them by dialling a prefix.

*1 for FWD
*2 for ICH
*3 for voiptalk
*4 for sipphone

The issue is that each provider has their pros and cons. This way it doesn't matter, as I can selectively chose which one to use (for outbound) at the point of making the call.

Just an idea...

Hi Intradink,

Well i allready had thought of that but just didn't want to mention it as we're not in a possition to launch a service like that at the moment. It is easily do-able but we'd need an extra server for it, and for that we'd need to make it a commercial paid service, which is currently not in line with things we are doing now (allthough if enough people are willing to pay for it i might reconsider doing it).

But have you looked at different phones yet ? I don't know what type of hard/software phone you are using at the moment, but i know X-Lite can register at multple accounts and uses the same *1 like selection.

Also i know that SNOM has phones that allow for registration at multple proxies.

OK... I understand.

I have a sipura that supports 2 lines, but am restricted by the actual DECT phone I'm using, that only has one line.

Does anyone know if there are any numbers in canada that allow forwarding to fwd numbers

Hi , i'd be interested in the "redirecting" / collecting service
Does anyone know a website providing this service.

Concerning cxandaian prefix you should check www.sipbroker.com

What you want is to setup an Asterisk server as your softPBX on your LAN. Anytime you open a new account with any SIP compliance VoSP services, all you need is to register that account on your Asterisk server. When any incoming calls come in, you forward that call to any of your ATA and/or softphone within your LAN. To place an outgoing call, all you need is access the dialplan you have chosen. Currently, I don't have an Asterisk server on my LAN; however, I am using the X-Ten eyebeam to achieve similar tasks.

Regarding your 2-line ATA device, you may want to use any 2-line cordless phone to take advantage of using both lines. Of course, your BB Internet feed must be able to support the needed bandwidth.

I hope this answers your questions and/or needs to merge all your SIP accounts.

Hope thats what you wanted
