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.
