Big Announcements

Can someone explain exactly what this feature is, and what the benefits are? I am BYOD but not using an ATA (asterisk user). From what I *think* this feature is, I could emulate it if I wanted a second line, but it would be nice to be sure...

It's a copy of line 1. Not sure how Voipo is going to work, but when I had VT it worked like this:
ATA has lines 1 & 2 registered.
Both lines ring on incoming call, answer either line.
When one line is tied up, the other line will ring or you can dial out if you want.

Hopefully it does not break call waiting - not everybody will have a second line or phone for both ports.

In my case, if my dual line phone rings on both lines, the CID on the phone cannot decide what to display also. But, I have two HT286 so I won't be affected. (Unless VOIPo wants me to try a 502 -- I'm willing, but there are plenty test cases out there now.)

Some day, maybe some of my wish lists will get looked at. I am impressed that there are new things being considered while they are ramping up their services!

My two line Nortel splits the display to show each of the incoming calls...



Last I l played with two ata's on the same number I got call waiting tones on the first when I was on it, and the second ata rang simultaneously.

I imagine it will be the same.

Cool, thanks. Basically, what I thought...

Yep, it'll be automatic once we push it out.

Ok as of 8:30 am Wednesday morning, I re-booted and I now have the ability to place calls on line 1 and line 2. Prior to this, calls attempted on line 2 would just go nowhere even though the adapter produces a dial tone on both ports (even if your internet connection is off.....interesting)
Obviously this was done sooner than later for the 502 users....
But thanks!

Yeah, it should be available for everyone at this point.

I'm going to write up a post on Monday.

Here's another hint...

Two of these are related to network expansion.

HostGator is going to host home pages for Comcast users through that BIG pipe you now have? And perhaps use VOIPo for Comcast VoIP services?
