    *30 does not block a call to my VOIPo number from my cell.
    (I like that it tells you what you did.)
    Calling the cell back from VOIPo said "Unavailable"

    *31 did unblock the VOIPo CID feature and the interactive response said so.

    Another thought on the HELP subject
    ** for the long list of * codes would be helpful
    "**30" for example for a one code description because you think you know its "Permanently Block Caller ID".

    "**code" is a great idea.
    "**3" could give you all the "*3_" features ...
    Just thinking user-friendly

    We have a few new things being rolled out by the end of the month and this is one we hope to include.
    Could we please get updates on here if something has changed that we have already mentioned? So we know to test it again?

    I like the fact that the voice prompt now alerts you to the specific feature change made. Any chance that could be implemented for star codes from primary lines as well? The generic "thank you" always leaves me wondering whether I got it right.

    The more feedback we can get this week, the better.
    My wife is making college related personal calls from work. She currently uses Google Voice to do so. Afaik, she can't use the method described in this thread (because the access number is not local). If I've missed something please point it out. Have you considered letting us call our home number (typically a local call) and after entering our PIN enabling out calling?

    Started Testing again tonight. I noticed some of the changes. Here was what I noticed. I confirmed these worked using Vpanel.

    *20 - Call Forwarding (Include Destination Number)
    Example: *205551113333

    This works as expected. You dial *20 and it says to enter the number you want to forward your calls to. One thing I noticed is it does not repeat the number back or anything so short of logging in vpanel you have no idea if it worked (but it does). I would like for it to repeat the number back. Maybe even have it so if it already is set to forward it tells you what number calls are being forwarded to. Currently after you enter a number it goes back to the default "Please enter the number you wish to dial or feature code".


    *21 - Disable Call Forwarding

    Works as expected and says call forwarding is disabled.

    *22 - Do Not Disturb - Send to Busy
    Works as expected and says Do not disturb busy enabled.

    *23 - Do Not Disturb - Send to Voicemail
    Works as expected and says do not disturb is set to voicemail

    *24 - Disable Do Not Disturb
    Works as expected and says dnd is disabled.

    *25 - Set Failover Number (Include Destination Number)
    Example: *255551113333

    This works as expected. You dial *25 and it says to enter the number you want to fail over your calls to. One thing I noticed is it does not repeat the number back or anything so short of logging in vpanel you have no idea if it worked (but it does). I would like for it to repeat the number back. Maybe even have it so if it already is set to fail over it tells you what number calls are being fail overed to. Currently after you enter a number it goes back to the default "Please enter the number you wish to dial or feature code".

    *26 - Set Failover to Voicemail
    Works as expected and says fail over is set to voicemail

    *27 - Blacklist Last Caller
    Did not mess with this (Did not think it really applied in this)

    *67 - Block Caller ID (For Next Call Only)
    When you dial *67 it then asks you to enter the number you wish to call privately. Tested and it works if you use a 10 digit number. Does not work if you dial a 7 digit number (not surprised by this really I was just testing). It also does not work if you use a 11 digit number 1+ (I think someone else mentioned this in a previous post).

    *30 - Block Caller ID (For All Calls)
    Works as expected and tells you that caller id is blocked for all calls

    *68 - Unblock Caller ID (For One Call)
    Works as expected. It asks for the number to dial and when it calls it displays your VOIPo number on caller id and not the number your calling from. Unlike when you login with your number and pin and dial a number to call. When you do that it shows the number (caller id) your actually calling from (in my case my cell phone number).

    *31 - Unblock Caller ID (For All Calls)
    Works as expected and tells you that caller id is unblocked for all calls.


    Edit-
    There is still no idle time out. It just repeats over and over please enter the number you wish to call or the feature code to access now. Left it doing it for more than 3 minutes. Really annoyed my wife too lol (had it on speaker phone haha).

    Edit #2
    Just noticed that it no longer says Bravia communications on caller id when someone calls in and does not login but instead just dials your voipo number. It returns their caller id info.

    Hope this helps.

    For anyone else testing it really does not take that long to use Vpanel and go threw and test every feature this thing has.

    Just go down the list. Other than like two of them (call forwarding number and fail over number) you can stay connected the whole time and just run down this list.

    *20 - Call Forwarding (Include Destination Number)
    Example: *205551113333

    *21 - Disable Call Forwarding

    *22 - Do Not Disturb - Send to Busy

    *23 - Do Not Disturb - Send to Voicemail

    *24 - Disable Do Not Disturb

    *25 - Set Failover Number (Include Destination Number)
    Example: *255551113333

    *26 - Set Failover to Voicemail

    *27 - Blacklist Last Caller Dunno if this one applies.

    *67 - Block Caller ID (For Next Call Only)

    *30 - Block Caller ID (For All Calls)

    *68 - Unblock Caller ID (For One Call)

    *31 - Unblock Caller ID (For All Calls)

    Nice clear list...thanks.

    Tried a few and they worked, but didn't get a chance to test the following. If any of you have the answers-great.

    What happens to those features that are programmed into the VPanel..such as failover..forwarding, etc., when the code system is used.
    Does the code route overwrite those that are in the VPanel?
    What happens when a code is reversed...does it then default back to the VPanel entry or does it wipe those out?

    It's just like changing it in Vpanel. If you set fail over to voice mail in vpanel and then use this to set fail over to a phone number then when you reload the page in vpanel it will show failover to number with the number. Change is immediate.
