An old boss used to say "There I go thinking again ..."
(I think he is actually younger than me )
Plenty of food-for-thought!

For a thought on a Soft Phone 2nd line option (again) with a twist.
1st, rather than log into vPanel with a number that could change (and then what?)


  • Have users provide a unique ID, Naturally I would be "usa2k".
  • Then allow that to be a soft phone number (free with the unlimited account.)
  • It would allow sip calls to reach you: sip:usa2k@softphone.voipo.com
  • It would get all the routing/filtering so those you don't know could go to VM or something.
  • Outbound would display your primary number and allow PSTN connections. (THE TWIST)

For those that want a DID mapped,
  • buy a Virtual Number(EXTRA COST),
  • map it to route to the sip:usa2k@softphone.voipo.com

WAIT: You don't do that. Please add that routing possibility too.

  • Routing:
  • Forward by DID
  • DID: <5551235555>
  • FORWARD: <sip:usa2k@softphone.voipo.com>


Not sure about 911 calls.
Not sure if you thought about that for a soft phone in general.
I thought you were going to allow selection of more than one 911 profile,
so you don't have to keep putting in a new location every time it changes?


  • Add E911 profiles by a descriptive location ("Home", "Work", "Campground", "Dungeon".)
  • You could assign E911 separately to each of PRIMARY-DID and SOFT-PHONE
  • Each could pick from the profile locations list you provide.
