Welcome to my Ideal Phone Setup site. This site is dedicated in what I would do if I had the financial resources to acquire all of the telephone numbers I would want. While getting a telephone number is not that hard – getting a particular telephone number is much trickier. Most likely, someone already owns the telephone numbers I would want, and I will literally have to buy the telephone numbers off of them. This will require involvement of an arbitrator to make sure everyone does everything the right way to get what they want. It would also mean I will have to be prepared to move the number immediately. I would choose an announcement only service to inform the callers that the number has been transferred to me, and to contact the previous owner through other means.

The most important aspect is the telephone numbers. I already have 2 of the telephone numbers noted here. All of the last 7 digits of the numbers I will want will be recognized as (my-number). This means I just have to remember the first 3 digits and which digits goes where. When referencing the number in question, I will note the type of number it is such a “Home”, or “Voicemail”. If I do have to reference a number, it will be the first 3 digits, or first 3 digits followed by (my-number). An example will be 412(my-number).

The current SIP provider will support multiple sub-accounts. This will allow me to set an extension for the Home line, another extension for the Fax line. The Forwarder number, Home, and Voicemial numbers will all use the same voicemail box. This will allow me to check one voicemail box, instead of 3. The fax line will not have a voicemail box as the system can’t determine how to recognize a fax vs. a non-fax call. The Cellular phone line will also have a dedicated voicemail box.

Then there are carriers. There will be just 2, and the goal was to have as few carriers as needed since every carrier will have their own voicemail system I will have to check. The Cell carrier will handle my iPhone, and SIP carrier will handle all of the other lines. The SIP provider will handle all of my other phone numbers.

Going throughout this site should give you an idea of what I would do, and what I can accomplish. The goal again will be to have something simplified, and easy to remember. No point in having a telephone number if you can’t remember it when it comes time to give out the number. If you should have any questions, you can feel free to [contact] me.
