Alpha Feature: Remote Access - Control Features/Dial Out

[Brian]

Interesting...the caller ID passed through was not my number, but the 714 access number.

Not a valid voipo phone number.
Hitting * and access code could call wife's 248-xxx-xxxx work number.
(Also navigated the interactive OK)
Hitting * and access code, called my VOIPo number and went straight to VM.

Encouraging compared to the old access number experiment.

+1, tried outcall, CID was not my VOIPo #, but a 714 #.

Is it recognizing the VOIPo numbers now for you guys?

[tj008]

Not sure. Somehow she doesnt hear my DTMF tones now.

On hold now waiting for support. have the Grandstream 486 with "in audio" checked. Does it require alternate setting?

Will try this alpha feature again when....

If you mean when you first connect to it and then dial a VOIPo number then yes I just tested and that worked fine (for my number anyway). Caller id returned was Brivia Comm LLC 1-714-209-7280. That did not work before.

As for feature codes I logged in *MyNumber PASS and tried *67 twice and both times it immediately ended the call. I thought maybe it was because I was not dialing fast enough but the second time I was dialing none stop and it ended the call right after I hit the 7.

Used it to call my home voipo number and caller id info returned was that for the cell phone I was calling from. Is this how its supposed to work? I thought it was supposed to display your VOIPo number?

EDIT- Did some more testing and found that *26 (fail over to voicemail) does work but then tried *25number and it ended the call before I could finish dialing the fail over number.

I also wanted to mention that it seems there is no time out so once you login you can sit there forever with it saying "Please enter the number you wish to call or the feature code to access now" over and over. I would strongly recommend a time out.

Hope this helps.

Doesn't recognize my number (10 & 11 digit) as a VOIPo number.

Can't login in as account holder. (Note I do have a password in my account but my voicemail is not currently active)

*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
