Hello,
I know that FPL offers call forwarding, but there are only two options: always forward and forward when offline. I am interested in a ring-all feature: one that would ring both my stationary phone (attached through an ATA) and my cell phone through call forward. As it stands, always forward only rings my cell phone, never my stationary phone and forward when offline is clearly not what I'm looking for (although it is useful for when my ATA fails, so I always keep it on that setting.).
I purchased the config file, so I can achieve this through my set up but the annoying part is that my cell phone does not show the CID of the party calling me and shows my FPL number instead. I understand why this is (to do otherwise would effectively allow people to set their own CID for outgoing calls, which morons would use for stupid things, like election fraud ), but is there a way that FPL can add a 'ring all' option to call forwarding through the web GUI? That way FPL would maintain the integrity of CID and not allow the user to mess with it. Is there another solution that I'm not seeing? Thanks!

Re: Call forwarding and Ring-All
Thanks Steve! This is something that should not be all that difficult to implement.
