The SIP? provider will connect with a telephony server. With that in mind, both of the lines will be managed by the server, and used to make phone calls and/or faxes. I know, faxes aren’t common nowadays, however, the phone number that would support faxes will also be a voicemial line. I will go into detail of that later in this page. With that said, I will have to acquire the phone numbers, and move them almost immediately. To reach my voicemail box, I will dial *86 (VM). This will be noted below.
For the 412 number, I currently own that number, and it is my cellular phone number. I chosen to keep this number because it was actually my first phone number in my own name. It was a stroke of luck to acquire this number again. With that said, I want to keep this number, and move it back to being a home phone line. When someone will call this number, the carrier will send it to my telephony server which will ring my home phone for 30 seconds before going to voicemail. Rather than using the carrier’s voicemail system, I will use my server’s voicemail system. This will make sense in the next paragraph. When I pick up my home phone, and make a phone call, I will have to include the country code of 1 before I dial a telephone number. This will be to assure that I keep up with a level of standards.
The second number is a 724 number. This will carry two roles which will require the need for a telephony server. The server will answer any call immmediately hopefully not issuing a ring on the caller’s side. The server will listen for a fax/modem tone. If it hears the tone, it will collect the fax, convert it to a .pdf file, and email? it to my primary email account. If the server does not detect a fax tone, then it would send the caller to voicemail. The voicemail box will be the same as the 412 number so voicemails, and voice calls will all go to one box. It would be nice to have this system to work with my cellular phone, but there will be no way I could tie everything together.
The 855 number will forward to my 412 number and 878 number. When a system picks up for voicemail, it will be the home phone server that will collect the voicemail. I will then listen to the voicemails when I get home, or if I am expecting an important call, I will dial my voicemail line, and enter the system to check on the voicemail to see if that important call left a message.
