Re: [asterisk-users] forwarding all calls to cells

2012-11-09 Thread Noam Birnbaum
Yes, the cells could be used as SIP softphones; do you see a benefit to doing 
that?

The reason the client wants to do this is to avoid spending money on Ethernet 
cabling and VoIP desk phones.

Exactly what Carlos said... properly qualify the clients need, not the
System they want

[asterisk-users] forwarding all calls to cells

2012-11-06 Thread Noam Birnbaum
Hello everybody,

A client wants to install a FreePBX infrastructure, but have all calls forward 
to their cell phones rather than buying VoIP phones.

They would be doing SIP trunks over a Comcast business line.  Probably maximum 
6 simultaneous calls.

Any gotchas we should warn them about?

Thanks!

I use Flowroute as my VOIP provider and this is exactly what I do with 
all my clients.  No problems except it cost me an inbound/outbound 
connection each time which costs .02 = .01 inbound/.01 outbound per 
minute instead of .01.

What a waste of effort, bandwidth, and money.  There are a dozen services
out there that can do this far more efficiently and for a lot less money.
 You will be using bandwidth in both directions and double the channels
(one call in, forwarded call out).  It will increase the latency by a lot
and the chance of call quality problems is huge.  Call in over a cheap
cable connection, call out on the same, then over a cell.

Concurrent ringing with cells is popular and makes a lot of sense since you
primarily typically answer on the desk phone.  If it's just forwarding,
then just use a forwarding service which will cost less and not introduce
the extra cable network layer.
