That's a uninformed and wrong reply ! The syntax you use is completely
invalid, and this obviously does not work this way to reach people using
routers (now almost everyone!) and not having a static IPv4 address (a vast
majority of people in the world).

In most cases you'll need a proxying server, and even with that you'll need
a client-side app (or service integrated in the router) to listen for
incoming calls, a prior registration on the proxy service, and a protocol
to route the call this way...
