Simultaneous Ring Updated - Call Hunt, Caller Announce and Multiple Destinations

This is great! Just a clarification, however: "When auto-answer is disabled and you answer a simul ring destination phone" you get three call handling options. However, if you answer your primary phone -- not a simul ring destination phone -- you do NOT get the call handling options, correct? At least this is how I hope it works.

I activated the find me along with simul ring and when trying to answer a call on the main line...nothing.
After I de-activated the feature, it took about 15 seconds to kick in before I was able to call out.
Now, back to normal, except I get the stutter tone when receiving a dial tone...but I don't and never have the system voicemail turned on.

Right. Only on the external ones. If you answer the VOIPo phone, it'll immediately connect.

With both set to 15 seconds, I called from another phone that is not on the destination, the call answers right away on the main line...when answering on the destination cell, a voice says.."you have received a call from 1-761-xxxx and it offers the 3 choices.

When calling the main line from another phone, even after I answer on my destination cell, the main line rings a few additional times even after I answered on the cell. No problem..just mentioned it, but it works ok.

When calling the main number from my destination cell, it answers right away with no problems.

One additional observation....

We talked about the scheduling as related to disabling the simulring so the call does not hit the voice mail on the cell when it is turned off.

I turned off my destination cell and with the findme set to ring all...15 seconds...no auto answer, when I call from another line, the call goes right to my main line. For me, this eliminates the problem of setting a schedule. The cell on-off does this for me for the simulring issue.

Yeah that's the main reason we put in the "Press 1 to Accept"...lots of complaints about cell phones being off and taking calls before with old one.

Awesome feature!! Any chance of setting up some SMS commands to toggle and configure?
