Incoming calls

Hello everyone,

I'm working on setting up the phone and fax numbers for us. For incoming faxes (in Germany still heavily used for legal stuff, otherwise not relevant at all), they will be distributed to our info@ alias at the moment, reaching all BoD members plus deputies.

For incoming calls, we can distribute them freely to any SIP or Skype client, everything else will cost a fee per minute, so I'd like to avoid that.

Since we all use our own numbers, I don't expect many incoming calls, but still, it will be our official number. I can hook it up to my SIP phone as a separate account. If anyone else wants to volunteer, give me a ping, and I'll add you as well.

Keep in mind that it's important that you have a Skype or SIP client that neither forwards calls somewhere else or has your private voicemail connected. Otherwise, TDF callers might end up on your family voicebox, which is not desired. :wink:

You can add my VoIP number +39 02 320621813 as there is an answering
machine which forwards the message to my inbox. This would allow to
share the message, if necessary, with everyone else.

thanks for the offer. I would prefer a plain SIP phone or Skype client, without an answering machine, for two reasons:

- We have a main answering machine where all incoming calls get distributed automatically to all BoD members (via the info@ alias).

- Forwarding to an Italian landline costs fees per minute, which I'd like to avoid for the moment.

This is the equivalent SIP phone: 5316436@messagenet.it.

Hi,

This is the equivalent SIP phone:5316436@messagenet.it.

is the voicemail deactivated there?

Is the same line, so the service is exactly the same. I answer the phone
when I am connected, but when I am not connected it sends the message to
my inbox. I cannot deactivate it, it is configured to get every call.

ok, then let's wait until I find an easier solution - not high prio at the moment, but I'd like to avoid messages going to individual inboxes.
