Connect more than 1 SIP device?

Post by skyskysky »

Is it possible to connect more than 1 SIP device? My cell phone is set up, but I also want my home phone to ring.

If I log both devices into the service at once, only the last connected device rings.

Are there any solutions except forwarding (in this case there is no other # available to forward to)

You can only connect more than one device to Fongo using a 3rd party site or software. You also need to have the config details and not just a free account.

You can achieve something like you want by setting up simultaneous ringing, but this will only call the Fongo number and another number - not two devices on the same number.

Yes I paid for a SIP unlock key. Thanks for pointing that out. I added freephoneline as a trunk on pbxes.org and created a ring group with 2 extensions (1 for each device). Cheers.

The other option to using a web based VoIP switch is to install a server component of your own (Asterisk or Freeswitch on Linux, or 3CX on Windows). It's all a question of individual comfort level, both with the technology and with their information. (Some people are paranoid about putting account information online.)

So there's an option for everyone!

Anyway, real reason I'm responding.

I know that sipsorcery which I used to use offers several dial-string set-up options, which have changed since I used to use them.

It would be a great idea to see a walk-through on various different solutions from the people who have implemented them, and if they're doing anything fancy with dial-strings or trunk-settings, to let us know those too!
