Complex call forwarding?
Preamble: I'm new to VoIP technology (and other telephony specs), but I do have a background in WAN IP routing architectures and protocols ...so I'm trying to learn.
Configuration: I have a PhonePower (SIP?) account with 5 DIDs connecting via Grandstream HT502 over Verizon DSL. 703-xxx-xxx0 = home phone (Virginia) 410-xxx-xxx0 = "virtual" (Maryland) 410-xxx-xxx1 = "virtual" 410-xxx-xxx2 = "virtual" 410-xxx-xxx3 = "virtual" Senario: I want to receive prepaid collect calls from a 410-xxx-xxx? landline, to the 410-xxx-xxxx DIDs that then forward to various 703-xxx-xxxx cell phones cost effectively. 410-xxx-xxx0 -> home phone (done automatically by PhonePower) 410-xxx-xxx1 -> 703-xxx-xxx1 cell phone1 410-xxx-xxx2 -> 703-xxx-xxx2 cell phone2 410-xxx-xxx3 -> 703-xxx-xxx3 cell phone3 My logic: (Please help me learn, if I don't have this right) 1) Call originates from 410-xxx-xxx? PSTN 2) Destination 410-xxx-xxx1 is "registered" (somehow?) to PhonePower, so it gets "routed" to their PBX? 3) PhonePower PBX passes to their SIP server? 4) PhonePower SIP server "encapsulates" the call into a SIP URI? 5) Call is routed to 703-xxx-xxxx destination on IP network? Challenge: Here's what I think needs to happen. 1) Inbound calls destined to the 410-xxx-xxxx DIDs need to be intercepted at the PSTN -> IP boundary, prior to reaching the PhonePower SIP server. Is this what Voxalot does? 2) Then they need to be forwarded/repointed to a different IP -> PSTN "termination" provider, that offers low Outbound calling rates. Voxalot Call Connection? Help Needed: How do I do that? 1) How do I setup Voxalot to "intercept" the calls? (I read all of the tutorials, but I'm a little lost in the terminology for some of the steps) 2) Where do I find an Outbound "termination" provider that will service my DIDs? (They all seem to provide service using their own DIDs) 3) Do I need to get more DIDs from the Outbound "termination" provider", and somehow "link" the 410-xxx-xxxx DIDs to the new local 703-xxx-xxxx DIDs? 4) Can I set up Voxalot to intercept and forward 410-xxx-xxxx DIDs to a termination provider's 703-xxx-xxxx DIDs, then configure those to forward to my PSTN cell phones? Update: Now I've added a VoIP.ms account to forward to, but I can't figure out get calls to go through. |
