My cell number is on every answering machine.  I tell people that if it's 
urgent they can call.

One of these days I'll have another tech and we'll take turns on stand-by.

The best solution I've found though?  GOOD gear!  It's amazing what happens

Re: [WISPA] After hour call handling?

2009-04-17 Thread Matt Larsen - Lists
These guys have been outstanding for us:

http://kitsupport.com/

We forward our tech support calls to them between 5pm-8am and they have 
done a great job.   All calls that they receive come back into our 
Freeside system as a work ticket with all the details on the calls they 
have taken and our techs jump on the ones that KIT can't resolve over 
the phone right away in the morning.   They will also call us if they 
get a bunch of calls from the same place with outage issues.

I believe the minimum monthly charge is $350/month, and that includes up 
to 70 support calls.   In a year, I don't think we've gone over that 
number of calls more than once or twice.   One of the best investments 
I've ever made.

As our internal phone system is voip with a asterisk PBX I simply setup a
time condition after hours for them to either leave a message or press 6 if
they believe a tower is down, or its an emergency to forward the call to my

Re: [WISPA] After hour call handling?

2009-04-17 Thread Eric Rogers
I made that mistake... The straw that broke the camel's back was when I
got a call at 11:30 PM on Sunday that I am having problems getting my
Xbox to work.  It says I need a key.  I realized at that point, as I
was waking from my slumber, that it was not a good idea.  I don't
remember my response, but I am sure I wasn't as nice as I would have
been normally...

We use Asterisk and during business hours, we answer calls as much as we
can.  After hours, unless they are paying business rates, it says on our
menu if they are a residence calling for support, press X and you can
leave a message.  If you are a business or a residential customer in
need of immediate support, press Y.  If they press Y, the first
announcement says Note:  for all residential customers calling for after
hours support, there will be a $75 charge for each hour on their next
bill.

It gives the customers that HAVE TO HAVE IT NOW!!! the ability to get
support, especially for that executive that has to have a report done at
3:00 AM for the financial meeting he will be attending and he can't
figure out his email settings on a work laptop that has never been home
to setup.  We can now justify paying off-hour rates to my techs.

Subject: Re: [WISPA] After hour call handling?

I made that mistake... The straw that broke the camel's back was when I
got a call at 11:30 PM on Sunday that "I am having problems getting my
Xbox to work.  It says I need a key."  I realized at that point, as I
was waking from my slumber, that it was not a good idea.  I don't
remember my response, but I am sure I wasn't as nice as I would have
been normally...

We use Asterisk and during business hours, we answer calls as much as we
can.  After hours, unless they are paying business rates, it says on our
menu if they are a residence calling for support, press X and you can
leave a message.  If you are a business or a residential customer in
need of immediate support, press Y.  If they press Y, the first
announcement says Note:  for all residential customers calling for after
hours support, there will be a $75 charge for each hour on their next
bill.

It gives the customers that "HAVE TO HAVE IT NOW!!!" the ability to get
support, especially for that executive that has to have a report done at
3:00 AM for the financial meeting he will be attending and he can't
figure out his email settings on a work laptop that has never been home
to setup.  We can now justify paying off-hour rates to my techs.

My cell number is on every answering machine.  I tell people that if
it's 
urgent they can call.

One of these days I'll have another tech and we'll take turns on
"stand-by".

The best solution I've found though?  GOOD gear!  It's amazing what
happens 
to the after hours call when you get top notch gear installed.

How does everyone handle after hour calls for service? (Answering
service? 
Call forward to cell? Etc.)

2009-04-17 Thread Steve
Digium board with Asterisk running on a SFF PC, (Actually Alix 1c
running ubuntu server on CF card)
This is a very robust option with call forwarding, tracking, voip
integration.  When the call comes in, it will track the person/s down
using a variety of methods from dialing  pbx extensions, phone numbers,
voip software (zoiper) on your computer, IM, and finally if you can't be
reached, will deliver a voice message to your email in the form of a wav
file.
We think it's great!

I have my direct DID follow me to my cell and the support option rings
to who is on call.  Recently that's been only me.

 Same here. We have our calls routed through our voip system that does a

Once those engenius radios were replaced with trangos or MTs the
issues vanished.  Most calls are noob questions.
