Follow me to call ATA and follow # simultaneously

Post by Sergo »

I was wondering if it's possible to add third mode to Follow-Me feature,
you can call it 'All' so it rings ATA and followme numbers simultaneously, making
them a call group if you wish.
That feature would really make me stick with FPL.
Best regards,
Sergo.

Hi Sergo,
We will certainly make not of this request for future development.

Hi Steve,

Did you mean make 'note' or NOT ?
Any chance to quickly check if this feature can or approved to be implemented at all?
Best regards,
Sergo.

Whoops, I did mean 'note', typo.

I have put the request through, but unfortunately there isn't a feasible way for me to check right now if it will happen or not. It will need review by several departments before we'd know if it would ever happen, and then an implementation plan for our programmers. All of the above would have to be worked into current business plans and won't happen overnight. I know this is something that we've had requests for before, so your request should only further help seeing this feature faster :)

I would like to add my request to that. It is a fantastic feature. I had it at Vonage and lost it when I ported over to freephonline.ca. My cell phone and home phone rang simultaneously, so if I'm out and my cell rings I run inside and answer the home phone. No need to take the cordless outside. If I'm in the car and see the call is for me, I answer it immediately without any delay to the caller.

As it is, is there any way to set up freephoneline.ca to work somewhat like that? Someone said if I set the seconds to voice mail to 5 it will start ringing my cell after 5 seconds but I can still pick up my home phone and answer it even though it is not ringing. Is this really so? I haven't tried it.
