astersik config

Post by voipfan »

Hi
I want to buy a freephoneline and use it with my small business. i want the people to be able to call my phone and asterisk will handle the call and play an IVR menu for them than ask them to choose customer service or to dial the extension they want to reach, is it legal to do that with you guys ?

Also is it possible just in case they are not able to reach my extension (cause i m not in the office for example ) to transfer the call to my cellphone.

I just want my line to look professionnal.

I do not believe freephoneline deals with business clients. I think you would be better off consulting freephoneline's parent company, Fibernetics. They offer free business lines, so it still work out for you. http://www.fibernetics.ca

As for what you want to do, asterisk should be able to do it.

Although technically possible, the TOS prohibits a business using any of freephoneline's services.

I personally use FreeSwitch (a softswitch that's in my opinion better than *) myself over the fact that it gives me greater flexibility on determining dialplans with other providers, iNUM termination and SIP trunking with other locations around the world. Sadly FPL doesn't offer direct SIP dialing yet... (And I wish it remains that way)
