Simultaneous Ring Updated - Call Hunt, Caller Announce and Multiple Destinations

[VOIPoTim]

I did access my voice mail and discovered that the first incoming call mentioned above...went right to voice mail, although I have it turned off..

My settings were findme...ring all...auto answer not checked.

Burris, one thing I just noticed.

Can you see if your "Ring Seconds" were set to 0...that would trigger failover which may be hardcoded to voicemail which would be a bug.

Two tickets on that (set to 0) already so we need to make that default to a few seconds instead of 0.

[burris]

Yes, mine were both set to 0

[VOIPoTim]

OK. Just up it to the desired number of seconds and it should solve it for you.

With findme set to ring all...2 seconds on each...no auto answer...when I call from my cell that is the destination for simulring, while the main line is ringing, a recorded voice comes on saying "the person at extension 305 932-xxxx is busy..your message will go to voice mail"

Another question: I currently have my wife's cell phone set up for "no answer transfer" to her VOIPo line. That is mostly because she doesn't use voice mail on the cell phone and wants all messages to go to the VOIPo voice mail. What happens if I now set up Call Hunt on her VOIPo number to ring her cell phone? Will this create a loop, or will it time out and send the message to her VOIPo voice mail?

What if instead of Call Hunt, she uses Ring All? I seem to recall that this caused problems in the past.

Thanks.

I just noticed in the SimulRing settings, that in findme...ring all...where the auto answer for the VOIPo line was previously left to toggle, is now checked as well as greyed out.

Evidently this was pushed out from the server. What does this now do that it didn't before?

Burris this was a simple "appearance change" as the VOIPo line if answered always takes the call, effectively meaning "auto answer" is always enabled on this line. We are just showing this behavior, as before it was not correct.

As always, I thank you.

I'm pretty happy with Voipo. My biggest complaint is that the RING ALL option
will ring only 1 external destination apart from my Voipo line. (CallVantage, my
last provider, allowed 4 external destinations to ring simultaneously, for a total
of 5.)

I'm sure that many users, including me, would like to have RING ALL ring the
Voipo line and 2 external destinations simultaneously. Even better would be 3
or 4 external destinations for the RING ALL option, but I'd settle for 2 external
destinations.

If someone at Voipo were to bear down on this, I'd bet that it could be implemented
in two hours flat.

Why are we restricted to just 1 external destination for RING ALL?

When might we get at least 2 external destinations for RING ALL?

I definitely agree. The lack of this means I had to set up the following:

Google Voice is permanently set to simul ring my two cell phones. Also on GV is a Gizmo5 VOIP phone at home, which is also set to simul ring.

So when I go out the door, I forward (NOT simul Ring) the Voipo line to Google Voice. If I get a call, it's forwarded via GV to the two cell phones and the Gizmo phone at home.

It works OK when everything is working, but obviously there are now THREE separate points of failure - Voipo, GV and Gizmo5. Of the three, Gizmo5 is by far the least reliable - it seems to fail to ring at least 20% of the time. No way around that, though. It's the only VOIP phone that will work with GV.

I need to have a phone ring at home when forwarded, because I have a tendency to forget to unforward the phone when I return home, and sit there looking stupid while all my calls are going somewhere else .

So, if at all possible PLEASE add one more line to the simul ring total.
